“…With the assumption of constant buffering size, optimisation between the codeword length and interleaving depth was first discussed with consideration of overhead [22]. Moreover, based on that, later work [23] proposed a near‐perfect (NP) interleaving depth to define an upper bound of the effective interleaving depth when it is possible to select very large interleaving depth, and an interleaving‐first algorithm to achieve better performance with lower complexity of coding and decoding. However, today memory devices are cheaper and cheaper, so that it is practical to use much larger buffering size, and therefore we have to consider how the buffering size influences the transmission performance, which has not been addressed in existing works.…”
