Devices and methods may be used to append a scalable (1) of parity bits in a data packet that scales with a number of data bits in a payload of the data packet. The parity bits may be generated utilizing a table of entries. In some examples, each entry in the table corresponds to a number of the data bits to be included in the payload; and each column of the table may be used to generate a corresponding parity bit of the one or more parity bits.
