Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications and, more particularly, to methods and apparatus for rate-matching a stream of bits encoded using polar codes. An exemplary method generally includes encoding K information bits using a polar code with a mother code length, N, to generate a stream of encoded bits storing a portion of the encoded bits in a circular buffer of size N reordering P blocks of the circular buffer according to row weights of a Hadamard matrix J interlacing the encoded bits of the blocks having a same row weight selecting, based on the row weights, a subset of the encoded bits in the blocks to modify modifying the selected subset of the encoded bits and transmitting the encoded bits in the P blocks, subsequent to modifying the selected subset of the encoded bits, via transmission resources.
