Abstract: Methods and devices are described for polar encoding and decoding control information that has been modulated based on one or more identifiers of the transmitter and/or receiver. Some embodiments describe scrambling sequence design for multi-mode block discrimination on control information blind detection and decoding. Separate scrambling masks may be applied to disparate bit fields within a coded DCI message, wherein each of the scrambling masks is derived from a user equipment (UE)-specific identifier, a UE group identifier, or a base station identifier. Frozen bits of the polar code may be used to encode and transmit hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgment messaging for early retransmission of unsuccessful downlink messages. A tiered process of UE identification may be employed to improve a balance between early termination of the decoding process and success of the UE identification process.

Abstract: A data processing system is provided for interfacing with a computing resource coupled to a remotely located network. A multilayer communication architecture, implemented utilizing a multilayer protocol stack, is provided for facilitating communication between network resources and applications running within the data processing system. Within the multilayer protocol stack, a media access control emulator is provided for interfacing with an application requesting access to a computer resource coupled to a remotely located network. The media access control emulator presents a standard media access control interface to the requesting application. A connection utility is provided for managing communication between the media access control emulator and a dynamic communication channel.
