Abstract
This invention relates to signalling of control information related to retransmissions in a wireless communication network. According to one aspect of the invention, a method for controlling transmission over a wireless communication link is provided. The method comprises the step of indicating on a transmission resource control channel whether a HARQ retransmission process in a mobile station should be activated or deactivated.
Claims20
A method for controlling transmission over a wireless communication link, wherein the method comprises the step of:
- indicating on a transmission resource control channel whether a retransmission process should be activated or deactivated.
A mobile station for a wireless communication network, the mobile station, comprising:
- a receiver for receiving a transmission resource control channel;
- means for receiving retransmission process control information from the transmission resource control channel;
- and
- a controller for activating and deactivating retransmission processes as a response to retransmission process control information received by the means for receiving retransmission control information.
A network node for a wireless communication network, comprising:
- a transmitter for transmitting a transmission resource control channel to mobile stations;
- and
- means for embedding retransmission process control information in data frames transmitted on the transmission resource control channel.
A mobile station for a wireless communication network, the mobile station comprising:
- a receiver for receiving a transmission resource control channel;
- a retransmission process control information receiver for receiving retransmission process control information from the transmission resource control channel;
- and
- a controller for activating and deactivating retransmission processes as a response to retransmission process control information received by the means for receiving control information.
A network node for a wireless communication network, the network node comprising:
- a transmitter for transmitting a transmission resource control channel to mobile stations;
- and
- a processor for embedding retransmission process control information in data frames transmitted on the transmission resource control channel.
A mobile station for a wireless communication network, the mobile station, comprising:
- a receiver means for receiving a transmission resource control channel;
- a means for receiving retransmission process control information from the transmission resource control channel;
- and
- a controller means for activating and deactivating retransmission processes as a response to retransmission process control information received by the means for receiving retransmission control information.
