Transmitter and receiver devices performing repetition before interleaving and puncturing after interleaving and methods thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to transmitter and receiving devices for wireless communication, where the transmitter device comprises a transceiver configured to receive at least one stream of information bits; and further comprises a processor configured to encode said at least one stream of information bits using at least one error correction code to obtain at least one mother code word having a mother code rate R; obtain a shortened code word or extended code word based on the determination of whether the mother code rate Ris smaller than a transmission code rate R; modulate said shortened or extended code word to obtain modulated symbols; wherein said transceiver is further configured to transmit a signal comprising said modulated symbols over a radio channel of the wireless communication system. Furthermore, the present disclosure also relates to corresponding methods, a computer program, and a computer program product.
