Transport block mapping across slots

A transport block processing chain circuitry for a transmitter, comprising:

• a code block determination circuit configured to determine a size of a code block that maps across at least one slot boundary of a slot of a wireless physical shared channel according to a Transport Block over Multiple Slots (TBoMS) configuration, wherein the TBoMS configuration includes a parameter that sets an upper limit on a transport block size of a transport block;
• a rate matching circuit configured to rate match bits of the code block to a number of bits available in the transport block that spans one or more slots of the wireless physical shared channel;
• and
• an interleaver configured to interleave a continuous output of the rate matching circuit on a slot basis so that a code block that crosses a slot boundary between a first slot and a second slot is interleaved within the first slot and the second slot.
