Error detection in wireless communications using sectional redundancy check information

A method of wirelessly receiving data in accordance with a radio technology, comprising:

• receiving, by a receiver of a wireless reception device, a codeword from a wireless channel in accordance with the radio technology;
• decoding, by a decoder of the wireless reception device, the codeword to obtain a sequence of bits, wherein the sequence of bits comprises:
• a sequence of one or more payload sections;
• and
• sequential redundancy check information;
• and
• verifying, by the decoder, for each respective payload section in the sequence of one or more payload sections, sequential redundancy check information corresponding to all decoded payload sections in the sequence of one or more payload sections starting from a first decoded payload section to the respective payload section.

An apparatus for wirelessly transmitting data in accordance with a radio technology, comprising:

• at least one processor configured to:
• obtain a payload to be transmitted;
• partition the payload into a sequence of one or more payload sections;
• for each respective payload section in the sequence of one or more payload sections:
• derive sequential redundancy check information corresponding to all payload sections in the sequence of one or more payload sections starting from a first payload section to the respective payload section;
• merge the respective payload section and the sequential redundancy check information corresponding to the respective payload section with a sequence of bits;
• and
• generate a codeword by encoding the sequence of bits for transmission;
• and
• a transmitter configured to:
• transmit the codeword across a wireless channel in accordance with the radio technology;
• and
• a memory coupled with the at least one processor.
