Codeblock concatenation for improved vulnerable symbol handling

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• determine, for each of a first codeblock and a second codeblock, a first number of resource elements satisfying a vulnerability condition and a second number of resource elements not satisfying the vulnerability condition;
• determine, for each of the first codeblock and the second codeblock, a first number of coded bits to be mapped to the first number of resource elements and the second number of resource elements;
• extract, for each of the first codeblock and the second codeblock, a subset of the first number of coded bits and a subset of the second number of coded bits;
• concatenate the subset of the first number of coded bits from the first codeblock and the second codeblock;
• concatenate the subset of the second number of coded bits from the first codeblock and the second codeblock;
• and
• generate a concatenated codeblock for transmission including the concatenated subset of the first number of coded bits and the concatenated subset of the second number of coded bits.

A computer-readable medium storing computer executable code, the code when executed by a processor cause the processor to:

• determine, for each of a first codeblock and a second codeblock, a first number of resource elements satisfying a vulnerability condition and a second number of resource elements not satisfying the vulnerability condition;
• determine, for each of the first codeblock and the second codeblock, a first number of coded bits to be mapped to the first number of resource elements and the second number of resource elements;
• extract, for each of the first codeblock and the second codeblock, a subset of the first number of coded bits and a subset of the second number of coded bits;
• concatenate the subset of the first number of coded bits from the first codeblock and the second codeblock;
• concatenate the subset of the second number of coded bits from the first codeblock and the second codeblock;
• and
• generate a concatenated codeblock for transmission including the concatenated subset of the first number of coded bits and the concatenated subset of the second number of coded bits.
