A ping-pong buffer allows a system to do so by doubling buffering memory size. This idea increases memory data throughput by not halting the pipeline operation. This paper presents a memory read/write algorithm called “Cyclic Memory” as an alternative to the ping-pong buffering algorithm for the data interleaving/de-interleaving process. Unlike the ping-pong buffering algorithm, the cyclic memory algorithm does not require double buffering. This means that cyclic memory cuts memory requirements in half, uses less area, and consumes less power.
