1. An interleaver device for nesting data elements, comprising:
at least one delaying device configured to delay an output of data elements, the interleaver device being configured in such a way that part of the data elements provided to the interleaver device are provided to the at least one delaying device,
a first unit configured to change the delay of the at least one delaying device,
a source of additional data elements, the source coupled to provide the additional data elements to the at least one delaying device;
wherein the interleaver device is configured such that the source of additional data elements inserts data elements between a last data element received by the at least one delaying device before the increase in the delay and the first data element received by the at least one delaying device after a change in the delay increasing the delay, such that the interleaver device provides substantially continuous output of the data elements.
