Puncturing and repetition for information encoding

An apparatus for communication comprising:

• an interface configured to obtain data;
• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory and the interface, the processor and the memory configured to:
• encode the data to generate a codeword, and
• modify the codeword according to a puncture pattern that is based on a plurality of bit tuples, wherein at most one bit of a particular bit tuple of the plurality of bit tuples is designated as a puncture bit,
• wherein the interface is further configured to transmit the modified codeword.

An apparatus for communication comprising:

• means for obtaining data;
• means for encoding the data to generate a codeword;
• means for modifying the codeword according to a puncture pattern that is based on a plurality of bit tuples, wherein at most one bit of a particular bit tuple of the plurality of bit tuples is designated as a puncture bit;
• and
• means for transmitting the modified codeword.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code, including code to:

• obtain data;
• encode the data to generate a codeword;
• modify the codeword according to a puncture pattern that is based on a plurality of bit tuples, wherein at most one bit of a particular bit tuple of the plurality of bit tuples is designated as a puncture bit;
• and
• transmit the modified codeword.

A method of communication, comprising:

• obtaining data;
• encoding the data to generate a codeword;
• modifying the codeword according to a repetition pattern that is based on a plurality of bit tuples, wherein at most one bit of a particular bit tuple of the plurality of bit tuples is designated as a repeated bit;
• and
• transmitting the modified codeword.
