Claim 5:
6. The method of claim 4, wherein the performance of the polar encoding of 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 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 different mother polar code lengths for the first and second PUCCH repetitions,
adjusting the number of RBs for one of the first or the second PUCCH repetitions; and
determining an updated first number of coded bits after performing rate matching for the first PUCCH repetition based on the adjusted number of RBs or an updated second number of coded bits after performing rate matching for the second PUCCH repetition based on the adjusted number of RBs.
