Claims26
A method of efficiently storing metrics for Hybrid Automatic Retransmission Request (HARQ) combining and enabling saving of memory buffer in communication systems, comprising:
- using non-linear quantization of said metrics;
- and
- managing an aggregated buffer for all HARQ channels.
A computer readable medium encoded with computer executable instructions, which when accessed, cause a machine to perform operations comprising:
- efficiently storing metrics for Hybrid Automatic Retransmission Request (HARQ) combining and enabling saving of memory buffer in communication systems by using non-linear quantization of said metrics and managing an aggregated buffer for all HARQ channels.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a mobile station (MS) operable for communication in a wireless network and capable of efficiently storing metrics for Hybrid Automatic Retransmission Request (HARQ) combining and enabling saving of memory buffer by using non-linear quantization of said metrics and managing an aggregated buffer for all HARQ channels.
A wireless communication system, comprising:
- a base station (BS);
- and
- a mobile station (MS) operable to communicate with said BS in said wireless communication system and capable of efficiently storing metrics for Hybrid Automatic Retransmission Request (HARQ) combining and enabling saving of memory buffer by using non-linear quantization of said metrics and managing an aggregated buffer for all HARQ channels.
