Patent attributes
Embodiments of the application provide a method and device for polar code rate matching in a wireless communication network. A device of the network obtains K information bits. The device generates a to-be-encoded sequence having a length N bits. The to-be-encoded sequence includes the K information bits and L frozen bits. The L frozen bits are placed in L bit positions of the to-be-encoded sequence. The L bit positions are determined according to a rate match manner which is either puncturing or shortening. The device polar encodes the to-be-encoded sequence to obtain the encoded sequence. The device interleaves the encoded sequence to obtain an interleaved sequence and then stores the interleaved sequence into a cyclic cache. The device sequentially outputs M bits of the interleaved sequence from the cyclic cache according to the rate matching manner.
