Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique for convergence of a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate beyond a 4G system with an IoT technology, and a system therefor. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart or connected cars, health care, digital education, retail business, security and safety-related services, etc.) on the basis of a 5G communication technology and an IoT-related technology. The present disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for performing rate matching and configuring a soft buffer in a wireless cellular communication system.

Claims (172)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

identifying that a limited buffer rate matching (LBRM) is configured;

generating encoded bits based on information bits;

performing rate matching on the encoded bits based on the LBRM; and

transmitting, to a base station, the rate-matched encoded bits,

wherein a size of a circular buffer for the rate matching is determined based on a reference transport block size (TBS) and a reference code rate for the LBRM.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference code rate is 2/3.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the size of the circular buffer, N cb , is determined based on
