A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a network node, a message indicating slots for transmitting a transport block on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). The method also includes segmenting the transport block into code blocks. The method further includes encoding the code blocks to produce encoded code blocks. Each code block may be encoded at a coding path from a group of coding paths associated with a coding chain. The method still further includes transmitting the encoded code blocks in the slots on the PUSCH.
