1. A method implemented by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:
generating a plurality of uplink control information (UCI) bits to be transmitted in a codeword;
applying a polar code to the UCI bits, wherein a mother code length associated with the polar code is determined based on a codeword length for transmission of the UCI;
performing rate matching on the polar coded UCI bits, wherein performing the rate matching comprises performing one of:
a repetition scheme if the mother code length is less than the codeword length,
a puncturing scheme if a code rate for the codeword is less than a threshold, or
a shortening scheme if the code rate for the codeword is greater than the threshold; and
transmitting the rate matched, polar coded UCI bits.
