Abstract: In this work we establish some new interleavers based on permutation functions. The inverses of these interleavers are known over a finite field mathbbFq. For the first time M"{o}bius and R'edei functions are used to give new deterministic interleavers. Furthermore we employ Skolem sequences in order to find new interleavers with known cycle structure. In the case of R'edei functions an exact formula for the inverse function is derived. The cycle structure of R'edei functions is also investigated. The self-inverse and non-self-inverse versions of these permutation functions can be used to construct new interleavers.


Let \(I=\{0,1,\dots, N-1\}\) the indices of a vector \({\mathbf u}= (u_0,u_1, \dots u_{N-1})\). An interleaver is an element of the permutation group of \(N\) elements, where the group operation is defined by compositions of mappings. A permutation function over a finite field \(\mathbb F_q\) is a bijection on \(\mathbb F_q\). In this paper some permutation functions over \(\mathbb F_q\) (as monomials, Dickson polynomials, Möbius transformation and Rédei functions) and Skolem sequences are used for construction of new deterministic interleavers. Here the cyclic structure of the permutation functions and generalized Skolem sequences are used. Meanwhile, Rédei functions with a given cycle of length are characterized and an exact formula for the number of cycles of this length is given.
