Assignee: QUALCOMM INCORPORATED
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
a memory; and
a processor coupled to the memory, the processor comprising a combination of computing devices, the memory and the processor being configured to cause the apparatus to:
determine a code size (N) for transmitting an encoded stream of bits based, at least in part, on a minimum supported code rate for transmitting the encoded stream of bits (Rmin), an information size of the encoded stream of bits (K), a number of coded bits for transmission (E), and a maximum supported code size (Nmax);
encode a stream of bits using a polar code (N,K) to output the encoded stream of bits;
perform rate-matching on the encoded stream of bits based, at least in part, on a comparison based on the code size (N), the information size of the encoded stream of bits (K), or the number of coded bits for transmission (E); and
transmit the rate-matched encoded stream of bits;
the memory and processor, being configured to cause the apparatus to determine the code size (N) by determining:
a minimum power of two integer that is not less than K/Rmin and determining a minimum power of two integer that is not less than E; or
further comprising
the maximum supported code size (Nmax).
