1. A wireless communication device, comprising:
a processing system that includes processor circuitry and memory circuitry that stores code, the processing system configured to cause the wireless communication device to:
encode an information bit vector into a plurality of code blocks using a polar code that is partitioned into a plurality of sub-blocks having a same block length in accordance with a polar transformation associated with a modulation scheme, each code block of the plurality of code blocks being encoded using a respective sub-block of the plurality of sub-blocks;
interleave respective bits of each code block of the plurality of code blocks using a respective interleaver of a plurality of interleavers; and
transmit the respective interleaved bits of each code block of the plurality of code blocks over a respective bit channel of a plurality of bit channels, each bit channel of the plurality of bit channels being associated with a respective reliability.
