  • Publication number: 20190312672
    Abstract: A method for channel-coding information bits using a code generation matrix including 32 rows and A columns corresponding to length of the information bits includes, channel-coding the information bits having “A” length using basis sequences having 32-bit length corresponding to columns of the code generation matrix, and outputting the channel-coded result as an output sequence. If “A” is higher than 10, the code generation matrix is generated when (A?10) additional basis sequences were added as column-directional sequences to a first or second matrix. The first matrix is a TFCI code generation matrix composed of 32 rows and 10 columns used for TFCI coding. The second matrix is made when at least one of an inter-row location or an inter-column location of the first matrix was changed. The additional basis sequences satisfy a value 10 of a minimum Hamming distance.

  • Patent number: 10425858
    Abstract: A method is provided for performing, by a first device, channel coding of data to be transmitted to a second device. The first device determines a size of a transport block for the data, attaches a first cyclic redundancy check (CRC) code to the transport block having the determined size to produce a first CRC-attached transport block, and segments the first CRC-attached transport block into multiple code blocks when a size of the first CRC-attached transport block is larger than a predetermined size. The size of the transport block is determined from among a plurality of predetermined transport block sizes, and the plurality of predetermined transport block sizes are predetermined such that all the multiple code blocks have a same size as each other.

  • Publication number: 20190090260
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) receives downlink data using resource blocks in a wireless mobile communication system. The UE receives downlink control information including resource allocation information and downlink data mapped to physical resource blocks (PRBs) based on the downlink control information. The resource allocation information indicates virtual resource block (VRB) allocations for the UE. A resource block pair includes a first resource block associated with a first time slot and a second resource block associated with a second time slot adjacent to the first time slot. The first and second resource blocks are allocated to the same frequency indices. A mapping between VRB pairs and PRB pairs exists such that frequency consecutive VRB pairs are mapped to non-frequency consecutive PRB pairs and that each resource block pair is split so there is a frequency gap between the first and second parts of the resource block pair.
