Systems and methods for modularized design for inter-physical layer priority uplink control information (UCI) multiplexing are disclosed herein. A user equipment (UE) may determine a first code rate for a first portion of UCI and a second code rate for a second portion of UCI. Different code rates may be used to encode different portions of UCI (e.g., hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) bits, channel state information (CSI) reporting bits, scheduling request (SR) bits, cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits, etc.). Further, a UE may select a group of bets offset sets based on a physical layer priority type and a UCI multiplexing type.

A receiver, transmitter, and method for a dynamic forward error correction (FEC) are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes: 1) transmitting frames of data during a streaming session according to a FEC repair rate, each frame being contained in a plurality of source packets and having at least one repair packet; and 2) changing the FEC repair rate at least once during the streaming session based on at least one of a number of unrecovered source packets and a number of unused repair packets.

A radio transmitting device and method enables reduction of an increase of CGI memories for the control channel and an improvement of the throughput of the data channel. When multiplex transmission through the control channel and the data channel is carried out and when adaptive modulation is applied to both channels, an MCS selecting section is provided with one CQI table for the data channel and CQI tables for the control channel, and a table selecting MCS determining section selects one of the tables depending on the transmission bandwidth of the terminal and determines the MCS of the control channel while looking up the selected CQI table.

The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods for error rate reduction. One example method comprises adding an amount of error rate reduction (ERR) data to an amount of received user data, and writing the amount of user data along with the amount of ERR data to a memory.

An apparatus and method for multiplexing signals using layered division multiplexing are disclosed.

An endpoint device receives a sequence of audio frames. The endpoint device determines for each audio frame a respective importance level among possible importance levels ranging from a low importance level to a high importance level based on content in the audio frame indicative of the respective importance level. The endpoint device associates each audio frame with the respective importance level, to produce different subsets of audio frames associated with respective ones of different importance levels. The endpoint device, for each subset of audio frames, applies forward error correction to a fraction of audio frames in the subset of audio frames, wherein the fraction increases as the importance level of the audio frames in the subset increases, and does not apply forward error correction to remaining audio frames in the subset.

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for encoding and transmitting video or multimedia content in wireless communications networks. The methods include encoding a block of input symbols using upper layer rateless forward error correction (FEC) codes to generate a plurality of encoded packets. The rateless FEC codes may be layer-aware or may incorporate unequal error protection (UEP). The input symbols represent one or more layers of scalable encoded video or multimedia content. Each of the plurality of encoded packets is transmitted over a selected one of a plurality of wireless channels. The wireless channel is selected based on an importance level of the input symbols in the encoded packet exceeding a threshold. The threshold may vary dynamically based on conditions in the networks.

A data transmission method, device, and system to resolve a problem that encoding cannot be performed based on an incomplete subframe because a length of the incomplete subframe is unknown. A first device generates a first subframe and a second subframe according to first data, determines a redundancy version (RV) of the first subframe according to an RV of the second subframe, and sends M of N orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols of the first subframe and N OFDM symbols of the second subframe to a second device.
