Methods and apparatus for determining transport block size in wireless communication

Abstract:

Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for determining a transport block size (TBS) as a function of various parameters without cyclic dependencies between the parameters and TBS. The disclosed function can determine a TBS in a single pass, and the determined TBS allows the use of code blocks with equal code block size (CBS) in a transport block segmentation process. The determined TBS can provide byte-aligned code block lengths and require no padding bits in a transport block.
