COMBINING DECISION METRICS OF SCRAMBLED PAYLOAD

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to techniques for combining a plurality of decision metrics of a scrambled payload in a 5G wireless communications system. For example, in some cases, combining decision metrics of a scrambled payload may generally involve receiving a first payload at a receiver that was scrambled both before and after encoding, generating a second payloadat the receiver with selectively set payload mask bits, and using the selectively-set payload mask bits in the second payload to descramble the first payload. 本公开内容的某些方面通常涉及用于在5G无线通信系统中，对加扰的有效载荷的多个决策度量进行组合的技术。例如，在一些情况下，对加扰的有效载荷的决策度量进行组合通常可以涉及：在接收机处接收在进行编码之前和之后都被加扰的第一有效载荷；在接收机处生成具有选择性设置的有效载荷掩码比特的第二有效载荷；以及使用第二有效载荷中的选择性设置的有效载荷掩码比特来对第一有效载荷进行解扰。
