Disclosed is a method of wireless communication. The method is performed at a first wireless node. The method comprises: obtaining a sequence of bits to be encoded, selecting a puncturing pattern from a plurality of puncturing patterns, generating, based on the sequence of bits to be encoded, a sequence of parity bits in accordance with a binary linear block coding scheme, puncturing, based on the selected puncturing pattern, at least one of the sequence of bits to be encoded or the sequence of parity bits, generating a plurality of modulation symbols based on remaining bits in the sequence of bits to be encoded and based on remaining bits in the sequence of parity bits, and transmitting, to a second wireless node, the plurality of modulation symbols.
