Patent ID: 8074150

Claim:
A wireless communication device comprising: a receiver configured to receive a transport block comprising a sequence of bits, wherein A is the number of bits, a first cyclic redundancy check (CRC) coder configured to generate a first block of CRC parity bits on a transport block, the first CRC coder configured to associate the first block of CRC parity bits with the transport block, wherein a number of CRC parity bits in the first block is L; 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 when A+L is larger than 6144; a second CRC coder configured to generate a second block of CRC parity bits on each code block, the second CRC coder configured to associate a second block of CRC parity bits with each code block; and a channel encoder configured to encode each of the code blocks including the associated second block of CRC parity bits if A+L>6144.
