Abstract
In fifth generation (5G) new radio (NR), the medium access control (MAC) layer organizes the data into the transport block and transmits it to the physical layer. The transport block consists of up to million bits. When the transport block size exceeds a threshold, the transport block is divided into multiple equal size code blocks. The code block consists of up to 8448 bits. Both the transport block and the code block have a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) attached. Due to the difference in the size of the transport block and the code block, the CRC processing scheme suitable for the transport block and that suitable for the code block are different. This chapter gives an overview of the CRC implementation in 5G NR.
