Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some examples, a wireless device (e.g., a user equipment (UE) or a base station) may encode a codeword from a set of information bits using an LDPC code. The wireless device may then transmit multiple versions of the codeword to improve the chances of the codeword being received. In some aspects, the wireless device may use the techniques herein to generate self-decodable redundancy versions of the codeword to be transmitted to the receiving device. Accordingly, a receiving device may be able to identify information bits from one or more redundancy versions of the codeword even if the receiving device failed to receive an original transmission of the codeword.
