Over-puncture mitigation in LDCP rate matching

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors result in performing operations comprising:

• generating a frame comprising a payload having a payload size associated with a number of bits;
• determining a low-density parity-check (LDPC) codeword size based on the payload size;
• calculating a number of codewords based on the payload size;
• calculating a number of shortening bits and a number of LDPC padding bits based on the number of codewords;
• calculating a number of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols for containing the number of codewords;
• and
• causing to send the frame with the number of OFDM symbols to a station device.
