Patent ID: 8151164

Claim:
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) for decoding physical layer control channel data, the WTRU comprising: a receiver for receiving part 1 data and part 2 data with cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits on a physical layer control channel, the number of CRC bits being less than a WTRU identity (ID) number of bits; a first de-masking unit for performing de-masking with a first mask on the part 1 data; a first de-rate matching unit for performing de-rate matching on the de-masked part 1 data; a first decoder for performing decoding on the de-rate matched part 1 data; a second de-rate matching unit for performing de-rate matching on the part 2 data and the CRC bits; a second decoder for performing decoding on the de-rate matched part 2 data and CRC bits; a second de-masking unit for performing de-masking with a second mask on at least the decoded CRC bits; and a CRC unit for performing a CRC check with the de-masked CRC bits, the decoded part 1 data, and the de-masked part 2 data.
