Outputting of codeword bits for transmission prior to loading all input bits

An apparatus for encoding, in a system comprising:

• a processor;
• memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and operable, when executed by the processor, to cause the apparatus to:
• divide a plurality of encoding branches of an encoder into at least a first encoding branch subset and a second encoding branch subset, outputs of the first encoding branch subset being independent of inputs to the second encoding branch subset;
• generate first and second subsets of output bits of a codeword in first and second encoding operations, the generating comprising inputting information bits of an information bit-vector and at least one frozen bit into respective encoding branches of the plurality of encoding branches and generating the first subset of output bits using the first encoding branch subset prior to generating the second subset of output bits using the second encoding branch subset;
• output the first subset of output bits prior to outputting the second subset of output bits;
• and
• transmit, via a wireless communication channel, the first subset of output bits prior to transmitting, via a wireless communication channel, the second subset of output bits.
