Patent ID: 7853857

Claim:
A wireless communication device comprising: a first cyclic redundancy check CRC coder configured to generate a first block of CRC parity bits on a transport block, the first block of CRC parity bits based on a first generator polynomial, the first CRC coder associating the first block of CRC parity bits with the transport block; a segmenting entity having an input coupled to the first CRC coder, the segmenting entity configured to segment the transport block into multiple code blocks after associating; a second CRC coder configured to generate a second block of CRC parity bits on each code block, each of the second block of CRC parity bits are based on a second generator polynomial, the second CRC coder associating a second block of CRC parity bits with each code block, the second block of CRC parity bits associated with each code block is the second block of CRC parity bits generated based on the corresponding code block; the second generator polynomial is different than the first generator polynomial; a channel encoder configured to encode each of the code blocks including the associated second block of CRC parity bits.
