Codeblock concatenation for improved vulnerable symbol handling

Abstract:

The present implementations relate to codeblock concatenation for improved vulnerable symbol handling. For example, a transmitter user equipment (UE) may, for each of the first codeblock and the second codeblock, a first number of coded bits to be mapped to the first number of resource elements satisfying a vulnerability condition and the second number of resource elements not satisfying a vulnerability condition. The UE further extracts, for each of the first codeblock and the second codeblock, a subset of the first number of coded bits and a subset of the second number of coded bits. The UE further concatenates the subset of the first and second number of coded bits from the first codeblock and the second codeblock, and generates a concatenated codeblock for transmission including the concatenated subset of the first number of coded bits and the concatenated subset of the second number of coded bits.
