Pbch signal design and efficient continuous monitoring and polar decoding

A method of wireless communication, comprising:

• receiving, by a first wireless communication device, an encoded information block from a second wireless communication device, the encoded information block comprising a first sub-block having a first bit location and a second sub-block having a second bit location after the first bit location;
• decoding, by the first wireless communication device, the first sub-block;
• and
• decoding, by the first wireless communication device, the second sub-block after the first sub-block.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• arrange first information into a first sub-block having a first bit location and second information into a second sub-block having a second bit location after the first bit location;
• and
• position the first bit location earlier in a decoding order of a wireless communication device than the second bit location;
• and
• a transceiver configured to:
• transmit the first sub-block and the second sub-block as an encoded information block to the wireless communication device.
