Abstract
A method and apparatus for binding Redundancy Versions (RVs) with a System Frame Number (SFN) and subframe numbers are disclosed. The method includes: choosing any 5 continuous subframes within a transmission window of a System Information (SI-x) message according to the subframe numbers of an SFN, and binding the SFN and subframe numbers of the 5 continuous subframes with RVs of the SI-x message. Because RVs are bound with an SFN and subframe numbers, when a transmission window of an SI-x message is longer than or equal to 5 ms, system frames and subframes are bound with RVs of the SI-x message so that the RV retransmission of the SI-x message is guaranteed.

A method for binding redundancy versions (RVs) with a system frame number (SFN) and subframe numbers, comprising:
- choosing any five continuous subframes within a transmission window of a system information (SI-x) message according to subframe numbers of an SFN;
- and
- setting RVs of the SI-x message according to the SFN and subframe numbers of the five continuous subframes.
An apparatus for binding redundancy versions (RVs) with a system subframe number (SFN) and subframe numbers, comprising:
- a subframe choosing unit, configured to choose any five continuous subframes within a transmission window of a system frame according to subframe numbers of an SFN;
- and
- a binding unit, configured to set RVs of the system information (SI-x) message according to the SFN and subframe numbers of the five continuous subframes.
A method for binding redundancy versions (RVs) with a system frame number (SFN) and subframe numbers, comprising:
- choosing any five continuous subframes, beginning with a subframe numbered N, within a transmission window of a system information (SI-x) message, wherein when the SFN for the subframe numbered N is odd, N is an integer from 0 to 9;
- or when the SFN for the subframe numbered N is even, N is any one of 0, 6, 7, 8 and 9;
- setting RVs of the SI-x message according to the SFN and subframe numbers of the five continuous subframes.
