Claim 2:
3. The method of claim 2 wherein:
the different puncturing patterns comprise a first puncturing pattern for a first code rate region and a second puncturing pattern for a second code rate region, wherein the first puncturing pattern and the second puncturing pattern are mutually complementary puncturing patterns;
the plurality of Polar-encoded code bits comprises N bits; and
extracting the plurality of rate-matched Polar-encoded code bits from the circular buffer or the linear buffer comprises:
extracting a first M bits from the circular buffer or the linear buffer if the desired code rate for the plurality of rate-matched Polar-encoded code bits is in the first code rate region; and
extracting M bits from the circular buffer or the linear buffer starting at an (N−M)-th bit of the circular buffer or the linear buffer if the desired code rate for the plurality of rate-matched Polar-encoded code bits is in the second code rate region;
wherein M<N.
