In an exemplary embodiment, a method for calculating transport block (TB) cyclic redundancy check (CRC) values includes receiving code blocks (CBs) that form code block groups (CBGs), which form a TB, generating partial TB CRC values from the CBGs, and processing the partial TB CRC values to determine a full TB CRC value. The method also includes comparing the full TB CRC value to a received TB CRC value to determine if the TB has been successfully received. An apparatus includes a receiver that receives CBs that form a TB, and a generator that generates partial TB CRC values from the CBGs. The apparatus also includes a TB CRC checker that processes the partial TB CRC values to determine a full TB CRC value that is compared to a received TB CRC value to determine if the TB has been successfully received.

Methods and apparatus for calculating transport block (TB) cyclic redundancy ceck (CRC) values

Methods and apparatus for control bit detection. In an exemplary embodiment, a method includes receiving an LLR sequence (l) that includes P control bits and calculating a sum of LLR squares parameter (L) associated with the LLR sequence. The method also includes generating a value (Vp) for each of the 2combination of the control bits. Each Vp value is based on a parameter sequence and the LLR sequence. The method also includes determining a smallest value of Vp, and outputting a determination that a control bit combination was received if the smallest value of Vp is less than a threshold value (THD) multiplied by the parameter L.
