A device may receive a downlink signal from a base station and may construct a frozen decode matrix for decoding frozen bits from data of the downlink signal. The device may construct a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) generator matrix for a component of scrambling sequence seed bits and may multiply the frozen decode matrix and the LFSR generator matrix to generate a mapping matrix for mapping a value of a scrambling sequence initialization vector that initializes a scrambler to the frozen bits. The device may determine an inverse matrix of the mapping matrix and may multiply the inverse matrix and the frozen decode matrix to obtain a final matrix. The device may utilize the final matrix to recover, from the data of the downlink signal, the scrambling sequence seed bits used to initialize the component and may perform actions based on the scrambling sequence seed bits.

Recovering scrambling sequence initialization from frozen bits of an uncoded downlink control information vector

A device may receive a downlink signal from a base station and may determine an input-output relation of polar encoding based on a vector of the downlink signal. The device may perform an interleaving operation with a matrix and the input-output relation to obtain an interleaved vector and may utilize rate matching with the interleaved vector to determine a scrambling sequence of the downlink signal. The device may utilize a reverse sequence generator with the scrambling sequence to determine a scrambling sequence initialization vector for the scrambling sequence and may perform one or more actions based on the scrambling sequence initialization vector.
