Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5 t -Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4 th -Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). A method for operating a transmitting stage in a wireless communication system includes generating a signal by encoding an input bit sequence according to polar code determined from a linear code, and transmitting the signal to a receiving stage. The input bit sequence includes a second frozen bit which is determined based on a first frozen bit and an information bit. The first frozen bit and the information bit precede the second frozen bit in the input bit sequence.

Claims (36)

1. An apparatus of a transmitting stage in a wireless communication system, comprising:

at least one transceiver; and

at least one processor functionally coupled to the at least one transceiver,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

generate a signal by encoding an input bit sequence according to a polar code determined from a linear code, and

transmit the signal to a receiving stage,

wherein the input bit sequence comprises a second frozen bit which is determined based on a first frozen bit and an information bit, and the first frozen bit and the information bit precede the second frozen bit in the input bit sequence.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the linear code is determined based on a list size of successive cancellation list (SCL) decoding and a length of the polar code.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the SCL decoding list size and the polar code length are used to determine a coding rate of the linear code, and

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the first dynamic frozen bit and the second dynamic frozen bit are two bits of the lowest error probability for a bit-channel among bits of the candidate group.

8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein a value of the first dynamic frozen bit is determined based on a value of at least one information bit of a first information bit group of the candidate group, and

a value of the second dynamic frozen bit is determined based on a value of at least one information bit of a second information bit group of the candidate group.
