UPLINK CONTROL INFORMATION SEGMENTATION FOR POLAR CODES

Abstract:

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications and, more particularly, to methods and apparatus for segmenting uplink control information prior for encoding using a polar code prior to transmission. An exemplary method that may be performed by a wireless device generally includes iteratively segmenting a group of K information bits into a plurality of segments, encoding the information bits of each of the plurality of segments using a polar code to generate a plurality of encoded segments, and transmitting the plurality of encoded segments.
