A transmitter simultaneously performs channel coding and rate matching in
a CDMA mobile communication system. The transmitter encoders input bits
into coded bits at a given mother code rate, and performs puncturing on
the coded bits in order to match the number of coded bits to a
predetermined code rate. Thereafter, the transmitter simultaneously
performs rate matching for repeating or puncturing the coded bits in
order to match the number of coded bits to the number of bits transmitted
over a radio channel.
