Original Abstract Submitted

methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer programs for ciphering information in a physical layer of a wireless communications network are disclosed. in one aspect, a method can include obtaining, by a ue, a transport block for transmission using the physical layer, determining, by the ue, whether the size of the transport block satisfies a predetermined threshold, and based on a determination, by the ue, that the size of the transport block satisfies a predetermined threshold size: ciphering, by the ue, the entire transport block, and transmitting, by the ue and to an access node, the ciphered transport block using the physical layer.
