Apparatus and Method for Rate Matching

The present invention relates to variable data rate matching method in a next-generation mobile communication to support variable data rates repeated on the physical layer of the cdma2000 relates to a next generation mobile communication, in particular a synchronous manner. Such a variable data rate in accordance with the present invention matching method is a channel in the process of interleaving, so that the coded data are mapped to the physical layer, wherein the channel of each bit by a different repetition factor so that the coded data of different bit rates to a constant symbol rate characterized in that they are interleaved is repeated. Thus, it is possible to more easily compared with the variable data rate matching process in the conventional next generation mobile communication (3GPP2) to obtain a uniform repeating pattern.
