In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and wireless equipment are provided. The wireless equipment obtains an integer E and an integer N. E encoded bits are to be selected for transmission from N encoded bits output from an encoder. The wireless equipment determines F inputs from N inputs of the encoder based on E and N. The F inputs do not include S inputs that correspond to S outputs of the encoder generating encoded bits not to be transmitted. The wireless equipment sets the F inputs to a predetermined value.
