Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a base station may interrupt a user equipment (UE) during transport block (TB) encoding. The UE may cancel transmission (e.g., suppress processing) of a TB based on the interruption, such that a first subset of code blocks is encoded and a second subset is unencoded. In some cases, the UE may receive a re-transmission request for a code block including cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits for the TB, where the CRC bits are not prepared. In one example, the UE may modify the CRC bits (e.g., set them to a common value, drop them, etc.) to reduce processing time. In another example, the base station may request re-transmission of all preempted code blocks, supporting TB CRC calculation. In another example, the base station or UE may extend a processing timeline for the re-transmission to support TB CRC calculation.

Methods, systems, and apparatus are provided for encoding code blocks for transmission in a wireless communication system. An example encoding method in a wireless communication system includes determining, for one or more code blocks of a transport block, that at least one of a plurality of criteria is met, wherein the plurality of criteria includes that a coding rate (R) is less than or equal to ¼ or that a transport block size (TBS) is less than or equal to 3824 bits and the R is less than or equal to ⅔. The one or more code blocks are encoded using low-density parity-check (LDPC) base graph 2, wherein a maximum code block size is 3840 bits. The one or more encoded code blocks are transmitted over the wireless network.
