Claim 4:
5. The method of claim 4, wherein the performance of the polar encoding comprises, responsive to determining that the first number of coded bits after rate matching for the first PUCCH repetition and the second number of coded bits after rate matching for the second PUCCH repetition would result in the same mother polar code length for both the first and the second PUCCH repetitions,
performing a same polar encoding on the information bits of the UCI for the first PUCCH repetition and for the second PUCCH repetition based on the same mother polar code length, and
wherein the performance of the rate matching comprises, responsive to determining that the first number of coded bits after rate matching for the first PUCCH repetition and the second number of coded bits after rate matching for the second PUCCH repetition would result in the same mother polar code length for both the first and the second PUCCH repetitions,
performing rate matching for the first PUCCH repetition based on the first number of coded bits and, separately, performing rate matching for the second PUCCH repetition based on the second number of coded bits.
