5 Channel coding, multiplexing and interleaving

Data and control streams from/to MAC layer are encoded /decoded to offer transport and control services over the radio
transmission link. Channel coding scheme is a combination of error detection, error correcting, rate matching,
interleaving and transport channel or control information mapping onto/splitting from physical channels.
5.1 Generic procedures

This section contains coding procedures which are used for more than one transport channel or control information type.
5.1.1 CRC calculation

Denote the input bits to the CRC computation by a 0 , a1 , a 2 , a 3 ,..., a A−1 , and the parity bits by p 0 , p1 , p 2 , p 3 ,..., p L −1 . A
is the size of the input sequence and L is the number of parity bits. The parity bits are generated by one of the following
cyclic generator polynomials:
- g CRC24A (D) = [D24 + D23 + D18 + D17 + D14 + D11 + D10 + D7 + D6 + D5 + D4 + D3 + D + 1] and;
- g CRC24B (D) = [D24 + D23 + D6 + D5 + D + 1] for a CRC length L = 24 and;
- g CRC16 (D) = [D16 + D12 + D5 + 1] for a CRC length L = 16.
- g CRC8 (D) = [D8 + D7 + D4 + D3 + D + 1] for a CRC length of L = 8.
The encoding is performed in a systematic form, which means that in GF(2), the polynomial:
a 0 D A+ 23 + a1 D A+ 22 + ... + a A−1 D 24 + p 0 D 23 + p1 D 22 + ... + p 22 D 1 + p 23
yields a remainder equal to 0 when divided by the corresponding length-24 CRC generator polynomial, g CRC24A (D) or
g CRC24B (D), the polynomial:
a 0 D A+15 + a1 D A+14 + ... + a A−1 D 16 + p 0 D15 + p1 D 14 + ... + p14 D 1 + p15
yields a remainder equal to 0 when divided by g CRC16 (D), and the polynomial:
a0 D A + 7 + a1D A + 6 + ... + a A −1D 8 + p0 D7 + p1D 6 + ... + p6 D1 + p7
yields a remainder equal to 0 when divided by g CRC8 (D).
The bits after CRC attachment are denoted by b0 , b1 , b2 , b3 ,..., b B −1 , where B = A+ L. The relation between a k and b k is:
bk = a k for k = 0, 1, 2, …, A-1
bk = p k − A for k = A, A+1, A+2,..., A+L-1.
3GPP
Release 126T 10 3GPP TS 36.212 V12.4.0 (2015-03)
5.1.2 Code block segmentation and code block CRC attachment

The input bit sequence to the code block segmentation is denoted by b0 , b1 , b2 , b3 ,..., b B −1 , where B > 0. If B is larger
than the maximum code block size Z, segmentation of the input bit sequence is performed and an additional CRC
sequence of L = 24 bits is attached to each code block. The maximum code block size is:
- Z = 6144.
If the number of filler bits F calculated below is not 0, filler bits are added to the beginning of the first block.
Note that if B < 40, filler bits are added to the beginning of the code block.
The filler bits shall be set to <NULL> at the input to the encoder.
Total number of code blocks C is determined by:
if B ≤ Z
L=0
Number of code blocks: C = 1
B′ = B
else
L = 24
Number of code blocks: C = B / (Z − L ) .
B′ = B + C ⋅ L
end if
The bits output from code block segmentation, for C ≠ 0, are denoted by c r 0 , c r1 , c r 2 , c r 3 ,..., c r (K r −1) , where r is the
code block number, and K r is the number of bits for the code block number r.
Number of bits in each code block (applicable for C ≠ 0 only):
First segmentation size: K + = minimum K in table 5.1.3-3 such that C ⋅ K ≥ B ′
if C = 1
the number of code blocks with length K + is C + =1, K − = 0 , C − = 0
else if C > 1
Second segmentation size: K − = maximum K in table 5.1.3-3 such that K < K +
∆K = K+ − K−
 C ⋅ K + − B′ 
Number of segments of size K − : C − =  .
 ∆K 
Number of segments of size K + : C + = C − C − .

end while
if C >1
The sequence c r 0 , c r1 , c r 2 , c r 3 ,..., c r (K r −L −1) is used to calculate the CRC parity bits p r 0 , p r1 , p r 2 ,..., p r (L −1)
according to section 5.1.1 with the generator polynomial g CRC24B (D). For CRC calculation it is
assumed that filler bits, if present, have the value 0.

crk = pr ( k + L − K r )

end while
end if

5.1.3 Channel coding

The bit sequence input for a given code block to channel coding is denoted by c 0 , c1 , c 2 , c 3 ,..., c K −1 , where K is the
number of bits to encode. After encoding the bits are denoted by d 0(i ) , d 1(i ) , d 2(i ) , d 3(i ) ,..., d D(i )−1 , where D is the number of
encoded bits per output stream and i indexes the encoder output stream. The relation between c k and d k(i ) and between
K and D is dependent on the channel coding scheme.
The following channel coding schemes can be applied to TrCHs:
- tail biting convolutional coding;
- turbo coding.
Usage of coding scheme and coding rate for the different types of TrCH is shown in table 5.1.3-1. Usage of coding
scheme and coding rate for the different control information types is shown in table 5.1.3-2.
The values of D in connection with each coding scheme:
3GPP
Release 126T 12 3GPP TS 36.212 V12.4.0 (2015-03)
- tail biting convolutional coding with rate 1/3: D = K;
- turbo coding with rate 1/3: D = K + 4.
The range for the output stream index i is 0, 1 and 2 for both coding schemes.

5.1.3.1 Tail biting convolutional coding

A tail biting convolutional code with constraint length 7 and coding rate 1/3 is defined.
The configuration of the convolutional encoder is presented in figure 5.1.3-1.
The initial value of the shift register of the encoder shall be set to the values corresponding to the last 6 information bits
in the input stream so that the initial and final states of the shift register are the same. Therefore, denoting the shift
register of the encoder by s 0 , s1 , s 2 ,..., s 5 , then the initial value of the shift register shall be set to
s i = c (K −1−i )

The encoder output streams d k(0) , d k(1) and d k( 2) correspond to the first, second and third parity streams, respectively as
shown in Figure 5.1.3-1.
5.1.3.2 Turbo coding
5.1.3.2.1 Turbo encoder

The scheme of turbo encoder is a Parallel Concatenated Convolutional Code (PCCC) with two 8-state constituent
encoders and one turbo code internal interleaver. The coding rate of turbo encoder is 1/3. The structure of turbo
encoder is illustrated in figure 5.1.3-2.
The transfer function of the 8-state constituent code for the PCCC is:
 g1 ( D ) 
G(D) = 1, ,
 g 0 ( D) 
where
g 0 (D) = 1 + D2 + D3,
g 1 (D) = 1 + D + D3.
The initial value of the shift registers of the 8-state constituent encoders shall be all zeros when starting to encode the
input bits.
The output from the turbo encoder is
d k(0) = x k
d k(1) = z k
d k( 2) = z ′k
for k = 0,1,2,..., K − 1 .
If the code block to be encoded is the 0-th code block and the number of filler bits is greater than zero, i.e., F > 0, then
the encoder shall set c k , = 0, k = 0,…,(F-1) at its input and shall set d k(0) =< NULL > , k = 0,…,(F-1) and
d k(1) =< NULL > , k = 0,…,(F-1) at its output.
The bits input to the turbo encoder are denoted by c 0 , c1 , c 2 , c 3 ,..., c K −1 , and the bits output from the first and second 8-
state constituent encoders are denoted by z 0 , z1 , z 2 , z 3 ,..., z K −1 and z 0′ , z1′ , z 2′ , z 3′ ,..., z ′K −1 , respectively. The bits output
from the turbo code internal interleaver are denoted by c0′ , c1′ ,..., c′K −1 , and these bits are to be the input to the second 8-
state constituent encoder.

5.1.3.2.2 Trellis termination for turbo encoder

Trellis termination is performed by taking the tail bits from the shift register feedback after all information bits are
encoded. Tail bits are padded after the encoding of information bits.
The first three tail bits shall be used to terminate the first constituent encoder (upper switch of figure 5.1.3-2 in lower
position) while the second constituent encoder is disabled. The last three tail bits shall be used to terminate the second
constituent encoder (lower switch of figure 5.1.3-2 in lower position) while the first constituent encoder is disabled.
The transmitted bits for trellis termination shall then be:
d K(0) = x K , d K(0+)1 = z K +1 , d K(0+) 2 = x ′K , d K(0+) 3 = z ′K +1
d K(1) = z K , d K(1)+1 = x K + 2 , d K(1+) 2 = z ′K , d K(1+) 3 = x ′K + 2
d K( 2) = x K +1 , d K( 2+)1 = z K + 2 , d K( 2+) 2 = x ′K +1 , d K( 2+) 3 = z ′K + 2
5.1.3.2.3 Turbo code internal interleaver

The bits input to the turbo code internal interleaver are denoted by c 0 , c1 ,..., c K −1 , where K is the number of input bits.
The bits output from the turbo code internal interleaver are denoted by c0′ , c1′ ,..., c′K −1 .
The relationship between the input and output bits is as follows:
c i′ = c Π (i ) , i=0, 1,…, (K-1)

5.1.4.2.2 Bit collection, selection and transmission

The circular buffer of length K w = 3K Π is generated as follows:

w K Π + k = v k(1) for k = 0,…, K Π − 1
w2 K Π + k = v k( 2) for k = 0,…, K Π − 1
Denoting by E the rate matching output sequence length, the rate matching output bit sequence is ek , k = 0,1,..., E − 1 .
Set k = 0 and j = 0

5.1.5 Code block concatenation

The input bit sequence for the code block concatenation block are the sequences e rk , for r = 0,..., C − 1 and
k = 0,..., E r − 1 . The output bit sequence from the code block concatenation block is the sequence f k for
k = 0,..., G − 1 .
The code block concatenation consists of sequentially concatenating the rate matching outputs for the different code
blocks. Therefore,
Set k = 0 and r = 0
while r < C
Set j = 0
while j < E r
f k = e rj
k = k +1
j = j +1
end while
r = r +1

5.2 Uplink transport channels and control information

If the UE is configured with a Master Cell Group (MCG) and Secondary Cell Group (SCG) [6], the procedures
described in this clause are applied to the MCG and SCG, respectively. When the procedures are applied to a SCG, the
term primary cell refers to the primary SCell (PSCell) of the SCG.
5.2.1 Random access channel

The sequence index for the random access channel is received from higher layers and is processed according to [2].
5.2.2 Uplink shared channel

Figure 5.2.2-1 shows the processing structure for the UL-SCH transport channel on one UL cell. Data arrives to the
coding unit in the form of a maximum of two transport blocks every transmission time interval (TTI) per UL cell. The
following coding steps can be identified for each transport block of an UL cell:
− Add CRC to the transport block
− Code block segmentation and code block CRC attachment
− Channel coding of data and control information
− Rate matching
− Code block concatenation
− Multiplexing of data and control information
− Channel interleaver
The coding steps for one UL-SCH transport block are shown in the figure below. The same general processing applies
for each UL-SCH transport block on each UL cell with restrictions as specified in [3].

5.2.2.1 Transport block CRC attachment

Error detection is provided on each UL-SCH transport block through a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC).
The entire transport block is used to calculate the CRC parity bits. Denote the bits in a transport block delivered to layer
1 by a 0 , a1 , a 2 , a 3 ,..., a A−1 , and the parity bits by p 0 , p1 , p 2 , p 3 ,..., p L −1 . A is the size of the transport block and L is the
number of parity bits. The lowest order information bit a 0 is mapped to the most significant bit of the transport block as
defined in section 6.1.1 of [5].
The parity bits are computed and attached to the UL-SCH transport block according to section 5.1.1 setting L to 24 bits
and using the generator polynomial g CRC24A (D).
5.2.2.2 Code block segmentation and code block CRC attachment

The bits input to the code block segmentation are denoted by b0 , b1 , b2 , b3 ,..., b B −1 where B is the number of bits in the
transport block (including CRC).
3GPP
Release 126T 24 3GPP TS 36.212 V12.4.0 (2015-03)
Code block segmentation and code block CRC attachment are performed according to section 5.1.2.
The bits after code block segmentation are denoted by c r 0 , c r1 , c r 2 , c r 3 ,..., c r (K r −1) , where r is the code block number
and K r is the number of bits for code block number r.
5.2.2.3 Channel coding of UL-SCH

Code blocks are delivered to the channel coding block. The bits in a code block are denoted by
c r 0 , c r1 , c r 2 , c r 3 ,..., c r (K r −1) , where r is the code block number, and K r is the number of bits in code block number r.
The total number of code blocks is denoted by C and each code block is individually turbo encoded according to section
5.1.3.2.
After encoding the bits are denoted by d r(i0) , d r(1i ) , d r(i2) , d r(3i ) ,..., d r(i()D , with i = 0,1, and 2 and where Dr is the number of
r −1)
bits on the i-th coded stream for code block number r, i.e. Dr = K r + 4 .
5.2.2.4 Rate matching

Turbo coded blocks are delivered to the rate matching block. They are denoted by d r(i0) , d r(1i ) , d r(i2) , d r(3i ) ,..., d r(i()D ,
r −1)
with i = 0,1, and 2 , and where r is the code block number, i is the coded stream index, and Dr is the number of bits in
each coded stream of code block number r. The total number of code blocks is denoted by C and each coded block is
individually rate matched according to section 5.1.4.1.
After rate matching, the bits are denoted by er 0 , er1 , er 2 , er 3 ,..., er (Er −1) , where r is the coded block number, and where
E r is the number of rate matched bits for code block number r.
5.2.2.5 Code block concatenation

The bits input to the code block concatenation block are denoted by er 0 , er1 , er 2 , er 3 ,..., er (Er −1) for r = 0,..., C − 1 and
where E r is the number of rate matched bits for the r-th code block.
Code block concatenation is performed according to section 5.1.5.
The bits after code block concatenation are denoted by f 0 , f1, f 2 , f3 ,..., fG −1 , where G is the total number of coded bits
for transmission of the given transport block over N L transmission layers excluding the bits used for control
transmission, when control information is multiplexed with the UL-SCH transmission.
5.2.2.6 Channel coding of control information

Control data arrives at the coding unit in the form of channel quality information (CQI and/or PMI), HARQ-ACK and
rank indication. Different coding rates for the control information are achieved by allocating different number of coded
symbols for its transmission. When control data are transmitted in the PUSCH, the channel coding for HARQ-ACK,
rank indication and channel quality information o 0 , o1 , o 2 ,..., oO −1 is done independently.
For the cases with TDD primary cell, the number of HARQ-ACK bits is determined as described in section 7.3 of [3].
When the UE transmits HARQ-ACK bits or rank indicator bits, it shall determine the number of coded modulation
symbols per layer Q′ for HARQ-ACK or rank indicator as follows.
For the case when only one transport block is transmitted in the PUSCH conveying the HARQ-ACK bits or rank
indicator bits:

included in the UE-EUTRA-Capability, the maximum number of layers is determined according to the
minimum of the configured number of CSI-RS ports and the maximum of the reported UE downlink
MIMO capabilities for the same band in the corresponding band combination.

not included in the UE-EUTRA-Capability, the maximum number of layers is determined according to
the minimum of the configured number of CSI-RS ports and ue-Category (without suffix).
o If the UE is configured with transmission mode 10, and the supportedMIMO-CapabilityDL-r10 field
is included in the UE-EUTRA-Capability, the maximum number of layers for each CSI process is
determined according to the minimum of the configured number of CSI-RS ports for that CSI process
and the maximum of the reported UE downlink MIMO capabilities for the same band in the
corresponding band combination.
o If the UE is configured with transmission mode 10, and the supportedMIMO-CapabilityDL-r10 field
is not included in the UE-EUTRA-Capability, the maximum number of layers for each CSI process is
determined according to the minimum of the configured number of CSI-RS ports for that CSI process
and ue-Category (without suffix).
o Otherwise the maximum number of layers is determined according to the minimum of the number of
PBCH antenna ports and ue-Category (without suffix).

For the case where RI feedback for more than one DL cell is to be reported, the RI report for each DL cell is
concatenated prior to coding in increasing order of cell index.
For the case where RI feedback for more than one CSI process is to be reported, the RI reports are concatenated prior to
coding first in increasing order of CSI process index for each DL cell and then in increasing order of cell index.
For the case where RI feedback consists of one or two bits of information the bit sequence q 0RI , q1RI , q 2RI ,..., q QRI −1 is
RI
obtained by concatenation of multiple encoded RI blocks where Q RI is the total number of coded bits for all the
encoded RI blocks. The last concatenation of the encoded RI block may be partial so that the total bit sequence length
is equal to Q RI .
For the case where RI feedback consists of 3 ≤ O RI ≤ 11 bits of information, the bit sequence q 0RI , q1RI , q 2RI ,..., q QRIRI −1 is
obtained by the circular repetition of the bit sequence q~ RI q~ RI ,..., q~ RI so that the total bit sequence length is equal

quality information is performed according to sections 5.1.1, 5.1.3.1 and 5.1.4.2, respectively. The input bit
sequence to the CRC attachment operation is o 0 , o1 , o 2 ,..., o O −1 . The output bit sequence of the CRC
attachment operation is the input bit sequence to the channel coding operation. The output bit sequence of the
channel coding operation is the input bit sequence to the rate matching operation.
The output sequence for the channel coding of channel quality information is denoted by q 0 , q1 , q 2 , q 3 ,..., q N L ⋅QCQI −1 ,

5.2.2.6.4 Channel coding for CQI/PMI information in PUSCH

The channel quality bits input to the channel coding block are denoted by o 0 , o1 , o 2 , o3 ,..., oO −1 where O is the
number of bits. The number of channel quality bits depends on the transmission format. When PUCCH-based reporting
format is used, the number of CQI/PMI bits is defined in section 5.2.3.3.1 for wideband reports and in section 5.2.3.3.2
for UE selected subbands reports. When PUSCH-based reporting format is used, the number of CQI/PMI bits is defined
in section 5.2.2.6.1 for wideband reports, in section 5.2.2.6.2 for higher layer configured subbands reports and in section
5.2.2.6.3 for UE selected subbands reports.
The channel quality information is first coded using a (32, O) block code. The code words of the (32, O) block code are
a linear combination of the 11 basis sequences denoted M i,n and defined in Table 5.2.2.6.4-1.

5.2.2.7 Data and control multiplexing

The control and data multiplexing is performed such that HARQ-ACK information is present on both slots and is
mapped to resources around the demodulation reference signals. In addition, the multiplexing ensures that control and
data information are mapped to different modulation symbols.
The inputs to the data and control multiplexing are the coded bits of the control information denoted by
q0 , q1 , q 2 , q3 ,..., q N L ⋅QCQI −1 and the coded bits of the UL-SCH denoted by f 0 , f 1 , f 2 , f 3 ,..., f G −1 . The output of the data
and control multiplexing operation is denoted by g , g , g , g ,..., g
0 1 2 3 H ′ −1
( )
, where H = G + N L ⋅ QCQI and
H ′ = H / (N L ⋅ Qm ) , and where g , i = 0,..., H ′ − 1 are column vectors of length (Qm ⋅ N L ) . H is the total number of
i
coded bits allocated for UL-SCH data and CQI/PMI information across the N L transmission layers of the transport
block.
3GPP
Release 126T 44 3GPP TS 36.212 V12.4.0 (2015-03)
In case where more than one UL-SCH transport block are transmitted in a subframe of an UL cell, the CQI/PMI
information is multiplexed with data only on the UL-SCH transport block with highest I MCS value on the initial grant. In
case the two transport blocks have the same I MCS value in the corresponding initial UL grant, the CQI/PMI information
is multiplexed with data only on the first transport block. For that UL-SCH transport block or in the case of single
transport block transmission, and assuming that N L is the number of layers onto which the UL-SCH transport block is
mapped, the control information and the data shall be multiplexed as follows:
Set i, j, k to 0
while j < N L .QCQI -- first place the control information
g k = [q j ...q j + N ]T
L ⋅Qm −1
j = j + N L ⋅ Qm
k = k +1
end while
while i < G -- then place the data
g k = [ f i ... f i +Qm ⋅N L −1 ]T
i = i + Qm ⋅ N L
k = k +1
end while
5.2.2.8 Channel interleaver

The channel interleaver described in this section in conjunction with the resource element mapping for PUSCH in [2]
implements a time-first mapping of modulation symbols onto the transmit waveform while ensuring that the HARQ-
ACK and RI information are present on both slots in the subframe. HARQ-ACK information is mapped to resources
around the uplink demodulation reference signals while RI information is mapped to resources around those used by
HARQ-ACK.
The input to the channel interleaver are denoted by g , g , g ,..., g , q RI , q RI , q RI ,..., q RI′ and

. In case where more than one UL-SCH transport block are transmitted in a subframe of
0 1 2 Q ACK −1
an UL cell, the HARQ-ACK and RI information are multiplexed with data on both UL-SCH transport blocks.
′ = H ′ + QRI
The number of modulation symbols per layer in the subframe is given by H total '
. The output bit sequence
from the channel interleaver is derived as follows:
(1) Assign C mux = N symb

PUSCH
to be the number of columns of the matrix. The columns of the matrix are numbered 0,
1, 2,…, C mux − 1 from left to right. N symb

is determined according to section 5.2.2.6.
(2) The number of rows of the matrix is Rmux = (H total

′ ⋅ Qm ⋅ N L ) / C mux and we define Rmux
′ = Rmux / (Qm ⋅ N L ) .
The rows of the rectangular matrix are numbered 0, 1, 2,…, R mux − 1 from top to bottom.
(3) If rank information is transmitted in this subframe, the vector sequence q RI , q RI , q RI ,..., q RI′ is written onto

5.2.3.1 Channel coding for UCI HARQ-ACK

The HARQ-ACK bits are received from higher layers for each subframe of each cell. Each positive acknowledgement
(ACK) is encoded as a binary ‘1’ and each negative acknowledgement (NACK) is encoded as a binary ‘0’. For the case
where PUCCH format 3 [2] is configured by higher layers and is used for transmission of the HARQ-ACK feedback
information, the HARQ-ACK feedback consists of the concatenation of HARQ-ACK bits for each of the serving cells.
For cells configured with transmission modes 1, 2, 5, 6 or 7 [3], i.e., single codeword transmission modes, 1 bit of
HARQ-ACK information, a k , is used for that cell. For cells configured with other transmission modes, 2 bits of
HARQ-ACK information are used for those cells, i.e., a k , a k +1 with a k corresponding to HARQ-ACK bit for
codeword 0 and a k +1 corresponding to that for codeword 1.

5.2.3.2 Channel coding for UCI scheduling request

The scheduling request indication is received from higher layers and is processed according to [2].
5.2.3.3 Channel coding for UCI channel quality information

The channel quality bits input to the channel coding block are denoted by a 0 , a1 , a 2 , a 3 ,..., a A−1 where A is the number
of bits. The number of channel quality bits depends on the transmission format as indicated in section 5.2.3.3.1 for
wideband reports and in section 5.2.3.3.2 for UE-selected subbands reports.
The channel quality information is coded using a (20, A) code. The code words of the (20, A) code are a linear
combination of the 13 basis sequences denoted M i,n and defined in Table 5.2.3.3-1.

5.2.3.4 Channel coding for UCI channel quality information and HARQ-ACK
This section defines the channel coding scheme for the simultaneous transmission of channel quality information and
HARQ-ACK information in a subframe.
When normal CP is used for uplink transmission, the channel quality information is coded according to section 5.2.3.3
with input bit sequence a0′ , a1′ , a 2′ , a3′ ,..., a ′A′−1 and output bit sequence b0′ , b1′ , b2′ , b3′ ,..., b B′ ′−1 , where B ′ = 20 . The
HARQ-ACK bits are denoted by a0′′ in case one HARQ-ACK bit or a0′′ , a1′′ in case two HARQ-ACK bits are reported
per subframe. Each positive acknowledgement (ACK) is encoded as a binary ‘1’ and each negative acknowledgement
(NACK) is encoded as a binary ‘0’.
The output of this channel coding block for normal CP is denoted by b0 , b1 , b2 , b3 ,..., b B −1 , where
bi = bi′ , i = 0,..., B ′ − 1
In case one HARQ-ACK bit is reported per subframe:
bB′ = a0′′ and B = (B ′ + 1)
In case two HARQ-ACK bits are reported per subframe:
bB′ = a0′′ , bB′+1 = a1′′ and B = (B ′ + 2)
When extended CP is used for uplink transmission, the channel quality information and the HARQ-ACK bits are jointly
coded. The HARQ-ACK bits are denoted by a0′′ in case one HARQ-ACK bit or [a 0′′ , a1′′] in case two HARQ-ACK bits
are reported per subframe.
The channel quality information denoted by a0′ , a1′ , a 2′ , a3′ ,..., a ′A′−1 is multiplexed with the HARQ-ACK bits to yield the
sequence a 0 , a1 , a 2 , a 3 ,..., a A−1 as follows
a i = a i′ , i = 0,..., A′ − 1
and
a A′ = a 0′′ and A = ( A′ + 1) in case one HARQ-ACK bit is reported per subframe, or
a A′ = a 0′′ , a( A′+1) = a1′′ and A = ( A′ + 2 ) in case two HARQ-ACK bits are reported per subframe.
The sequence a 0 , a1 , a 2 , a 3 ,..., a A−1 is encoded according to section 5.2.3.3 to yield the output bit sequence
b0 , b1 , b2 , b3 ,..., b B −1 where B = 20 .
5.2.4 Uplink control information on PUSCH without UL-SCH data

When control data are sent via PUSCH without UL-SCH data, the following coding steps can be identified:
− Channel coding of control information
− Control information mapping

− Channel interleaver
5.2.4.1 Channel coding of control information

Control data arrives at the coding unit in the form of channel quality information (CQI and/or PMI), HARQ-ACK and
rank indication. Different coding rates for the control information are achieved by allocating different number of coded
symbols for its transmission. When the UE transmits HARQ-ACK bits or rank indicator bits, it shall determine the
number of coded symbols Q′ for HARQ-ACK or rank indicator as
  O ⋅ M scPUSCH ⋅ N symb

 

Q ′ = min  PUSCH 
, 4 ⋅ M sc
 OCQI − MIN  
 
where O is the number of HARQ-ACK bits as defined in section 5.2.2.6, or rank indicator bits, OCQI − MIN is the
number of CQI bits including CRC bits assuming rank equals to 1 for all serving cells for which an aperiodic CSI report
is triggered [3], M scPUSCH is the scheduled bandwidth for PUSCH transmission in the current subframe expressed as a
PUSCH

− 1 − N SRS , where N SRS is equal to 1 if UE is configured to send PUSCH and
SRS in the same subframe for the current subframe, or if the PUSCH resource allocation for the current subframe even
partially overlaps with the cell-specific SRS subframe and bandwidth configuration defined in section 5.5.3 of [2], or if
the current subframe is a UE-specific type-1 SRS subframe as defined in Section 8.2 of [3], or if the current subframe is
a UE-specific type-0 SRS subframe as defined in section 8.2 of [3] and the UE is configured with multiple TAGs.
Otherwise N SRS is equal to 0.

retransmission of the corresponding transport block if that transport block has previously been transmitted using two
layers with closed-loop spatial multiplexing.
If the number of information bits in format 2 carried by PDCCH belongs to one of the sizes in Table 5.3.3.1.2-1, one
zero bit shall be appended to format 2.
Some entries in Table 5.3.3.1.5-4 and Table 5.3.3.1.5-5 are used for indicating that the eNodeB has applied precoding
according to PMI(s) reported by the UE. In these cases the precoding for the corresponding RB(s) in subframe n is

including any padding bits appended to format 0.
5.3.3.2 CRC attachment

Error detection is provided on DCI transmissions through a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC).
The entire payload is used to calculate the CRC parity bits. Denote the bits of the payload by a 0 , a1 , a 2 , a 3 ,..., a A−1 , and
the parity bits by p 0 , p1 , p 2 , p 3 ,..., p L −1 . A is the payload size and L is the number of parity bits.
The parity bits are computed and attached according to section 5.1.1 setting L to 16 bits, resulting in the
sequence b0 , b1 , b2 , b3 ,..., b B −1 , where B = A+ L.
In the case where closed-loop UE transmit antenna selection is not configured or applicable, after attachment, the CRC
parity bits are scrambled with the corresponding RNTI x rnti ,0 , x rnti ,1 ,..., x rnti ,15 , where xrnti , 0 corresponds to the MSB of
the RNTI, to form the sequence of bits c 0 , c1 , c 2 , c 3 ,..., c B −1 . The relation between c k and b k is:
c k = bk for k = 0, 1, 2, …, A-1
c k = (bk + x rnti ,k − A )mod 2 for k = A, A+1, A+2,..., A+15.
In the case where closed-loop UE transmit antenna selection is configured and applicable, after attachment, the CRC
parity bits with DCI format 0 are scrambled with the antenna selection mask x AS ,0 , x AS ,1 ,..., x AS ,15 as indicated in Table
5.3.3.2-1 and the corresponding RNTI x rnti ,0 , x rnti ,1 ,..., x rnti ,15 to form the sequence of bits c 0 , c1 , c 2 , c 3 ,..., c B −1 . The
relation between c k and b k is:
c k = bk for k = 0, 1, 2, …, A-1
c k = (bk + x rnti ,k − A + x AS ,k − A )mod 2 for k = A, A+1, A+2,..., A+15.

5.3.4 Control format indicator

Data arrives each subframe to the coding unit in the form of an indicator for the time span, in units of OFDM symbols,
of the DCI carried by PDCCH in that subframe of the corresponding DL cell. The CFI takes values CFI = 1, 2 or 3. For
system bandwidths N RBDL
> 10 , the span of the DCI carried by PDCCH in units of OFDM symbols, 1, 2 or 3, is given by
DL

5.1 Generic procedures

5.1.1 CRC calculation

- g CRC24B (D) = [D24 + D23 + D6 + D5 + D + 1] for a CRC length L = 24 and;

- g CRC16 (D) = [D16 + D12 + D5 + 1] for a CRC length L = 16.

- g CRC8 (D) = [D8 + D7 + D4 + D3 + D + 1] for a CRC length of L = 8.

a 0 D A+ 23 + a1 D A+ 22 + ... + a A−1 D 24 + p 0 D 23 + p1 D 22 + ... + p 22 D 1 + p 23

a 0 D A+15 + a1 D A+14 + ... + a A−1 D 16 + p 0 D15 + p1 D 14 + ... + p14 D 1 + p15

a0 D A + 7 + a1D A + 6 + ... + a A −1D 8 + p0 D7 + p1D 6 + ... + p6 D1 + p7

yields a remainder equal to 0 when divided by g CRC8 (D).

bk = p k − A for k = A, A+1, A+2,..., A+L-1.

5.1.2 Code block segmentation and code block CRC attachment

Total number of code blocks C is determined by:

Number of code blocks: C = 1

Number of code blocks: C = B / (Z − L ) .

Number of bits in each code block (applicable for C ≠ 0 only):

First segmentation size: K + = minimum K in table 5.1.3-3 such that C ⋅ K ≥ B ′

the number of code blocks with length K + is C + =1, K − = 0 , C − = 0

Second segmentation size: K − = maximum K in table 5.1.3-3 such that K < K +

Number of segments of size K + : C + = C − C − .

Number of filler bits: F = C + ⋅ K + + C − ⋅ K − − B ′

for k = 0 to F-1 -- Insertion of filler bits

c 0 k =< NULL >

5.1.3 Channel coding

The following channel coding schemes can be applied to TrCHs:

- tail biting convolutional coding;

The values of D in connection with each coding scheme:

- tail biting convolutional coding with rate 1/3: D = K;

- turbo coding with rate 1/3: D = K + 4.
