Abstract:
1. A method of rate matching, by puncturing, in a wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA) device, comprising: generating, by a puncturing algorithm of a rate matching module of a transport channel of the W-CDMA device, the rate matching module comprising a counter and at least one of a processor and a state machine, a relation between output bit position addresses of non-punctured bits based on a difference value Δ, a counter step of the counter, an integer number NUM, a dynamic remainder rem by the at least one of a processor and a state machine, initializing the counter and determining an initial value of the dynamic remainder rem determining, by the rate matching module, the counter step by the relation counter step=NUM+REM/Δ; for each iteration j of the rate matching module: repeating the providing of a non-punctured bit position address for each subsequent iteration until j reaches a maximum value, thereby providing rate matching between an input data stream and an output data stream for a transport channel of the W-CDMA device.
