There is provided an apparatus including an acquisition unit that acquires an information block generated from transmission data for a user and subjected to error correction coding, and an interleaving unit that interleaves a bit sequence of the information block using an interleaver unique to the user. The interleaving unit interleaves the bit sequence by interleaving each of two or more partial sequences obtained from the bit sequence.

Disclosed in the present specification is a method for performing channel encoding. The method can comprise the steps of: interleaving information bits; and encoding the interleaved information bits by using a polar code. The information bits can be interleaved according to an interleaving pattern.

A data processing apparatus including a frequency interleaves that includes memory configured to write and read data, and an address generator configured to produce a write address and a read address, and that writes the data to the memory in accordance with the write address and reads out the data from the memory in accordance with the read address, thereby carrying out frequency interleaving. The address generator is configured to produce a first pseudo random bit stream, produce a second pseudo random bit stream, alternately produce a bit as 0 and a bit as 1 as an additional bit added as a most significant bit of the first pseudo random bit stream, and produce the write address or the read address by obtaining an exclusive-OR between the first pseudo random bit stream having the additional bit added as the most significant bit and the second pseudo random bit stream.

Methods are proposed herein to perform rate matching for polar codes via circular buffering of the polar encoded bits. Embodiments are directed to methods of operation of a transmitting node in a wireless system including performing polar encoding of a set of information bits in accordance with a polar sequence of length N.sub.B to thereby generate N.sub.B coded bits. The method can further include interleaving the coded bits to thereby provide an interleaved coded bit sequence, and storing the interleaved coded bit sequence into a circular buffer of length N.sub.B. According to certain embodiments, the method can further include extracting N coded bits for transmission from the circular buffer. N can be greater than, equal to, or less than N.sub.B.

A method for use in a wireless transmitter of interleaving coded bits includes: determining an integer number (M) of polar coded bits {e(0), . . . , e(M−1)} for wireless transmission; determining a smallest integer number (T) such that T(T+1)/2>=M; and determining a one-dimensional interleaving index array, interleavingId( ), that represents the column by column non-zero elements of a two-dimensional matrix. The two-dimensional matrix includes a hypothetical T by T matrix containing the polar coded bits {e(0), . . . , e(M−1)} input row by row without using the lower right corner elements of the T×T matrix. The method further includes: interleaving the polar coded bits {e(0), . . . , e(M−1)} using the one-dimensional interleaving index array resulting in the output sequence {f(0), . . . , f(M−1)} wherein f(i)=e(interleavingId(i)); and transmitting the interleaved polar coded bits to a wireless receiver.
