Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 14:
15. 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 to encode excess bits in an uplink message, 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 uplink message;
encoding the excess bits in the uplink message at the first set of levels of the multilevel coding scheme;
encoding the information bits in the uplink message at a second set of levels of the multilevel coding scheme; and
transmitting the uplink message to the network entity, the uplink message including the excess bits encoded at the first set of levels and also including the information bits encoded at the second set of levels.
