19. A method of operating a communications apparatus, the method comprising:
receiving data from a transmitter,
wherein the data comprises at least one data block,
wherein the at least one data block comprises at least one code block;
estimating a decodability of the at least one code block at the receiver using a first portion of the at least one code block,
wherein the at least one data block is defined by a plurality of symbols in a time domain and by a plurality of sub-carriers in a frequency domain,
wherein the first portion of the at least one code blocks spans at least one of the plurality of sub-carriers or at least one of the plurality of symbols of the at least one data block;
requesting retransmission when the at least one code block cannot be decode; and
signaling a size of the retransmission.
