Patent ID: 8526392

Claim:
A method for transmission, the method comprising: dividing a transmission resource in a time domain subframe into a plurality of equal duration resource elements in a time and frequency domain; segmenting information to be transmitted to generate a plurality of code blocks, with at least one code block containing a larger number of information bits and at least one code block containing a smaller number of information bits; encoding the code blocks to generate a plurality of coded bits; modulating the plurality of coded bits in each of the code blocks to generate a sequence of modulation symbols; assigning resource elements to each of the plurality of code blocks, with a larger number of resource elements assigned to the at least one code block containing the larger number of information bits and a smaller number of resource elements assigned to the at least one code block containing the smaller number of information bits; and transmitting the modulation symbols via one or a plurality of antennas using the assigned resource elements to a receiver.
