Claim 0:
1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving, from a network entity, a control message indicating a first set of levels of a multilevel coding scheme at which excess bits in a downlink message are encoded, wherein the multilevel coding scheme comprises a physical layer procedure, and wherein different levels of the multilevel coding scheme provide separately encoded streams of bits, the excess bits being in addition to information bits of the downlink message;
receiving the downlink message from the network entity, the downlink message including the excess bits encoded at the first set of levels of the multilevel coding scheme and also including the information bits encoded at a second set of levels of the multilevel coding scheme; and
decoding the information bits in the downlink message at the second set of levels of the multilevel coding scheme based at least in part on the control message indicating the first set of levels at which the excess bits in the downlink message are encoded.
