Abstract
An apparatus is used for outputting an input data block comprising a plurality of bits as an output data block with at least one puncturing or with at least one repetition of at least one bit. The apparatus comprises an association unit for associating the bits in the input data block with the bits in the output data block on the basis of an alterable puncturing or repetition pattern (incw(k)). The association unit is a hardware circuit which is designed to execute both puncturing and repetitive coding.
