Abstract
A control channel encoder includes a determiner configured to determine a current value of K for encoding control signals of a length M, wherein K is a function of a code rate for a data channel. A table generator is configured to, if K is greater than a predetermined threshold, generate a repeated matrix from a fixed block encoding matrix by variably repeating rows from said fixed block encoding matrix. A puncturer is configured to, if K is less than the predetermined threshold, puncture the fixed block encoding matrix to reduce a size of the fixed block encoding matrix. A block encoder is configured to utilize said repeated matrix, to encode M input control bits as K encoded control bits, by generating an encoded payload from said repeated matrix.
