US Patent 10270562 Control transmission soft combining

Techniques are described for wireless communication. One method of wireless communication includes buffering a first set of coded bits including a first control message having a plurality of fields, buffering a second set of coded bits including a second control message having the plurality of fields, soft combining at least a first subset of the first set of coded bits and a second subset of the second set of coded bits in a combined set of coded bits, and decoding the first control message or the second control message based at least in part on the combined set of coded bits.
