Abstract
A technique for rate matching a bit stream (c(k)) output from a channel encoder () to a data transmission rate on a physical transmission channel is described. A method embodiment of the technique comprises the steps of determining, at a beginning of a transmission time interval for a transmission of one or more code blocks on the transmission channel, bit positions of interleaver padding bits (dummy and/or filler bits) in an output buffer for buffering the output bits before transmission on the physical transmission channel; storing the determined padding bit positions (); and determining, based on the stored padding bit positions, positions (d(k)) of the output bits from the channel encoding stage () in the output buffer, wherein the stored padding bit positions are re-used for each of the one or more code blocks.
