Abstract
The disclosure discloses a method and device for allocating Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) processes. The method comprises: a Radio Network Controller (RNC) transmits a notification message carrying a downgraded capability category of a User Equipment (UE) to a Node B; and the Node B allocates HARQ processes for the UE by using a total number of soft channel bits corresponding to the downgraded capability category. The disclosure improves the accuracy of the allocation, thus improving the system performance.
Claims18
A method for allocating Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) processes, comprising.
- a Radio Network Controller (RNC) sending a notification message carrying a downgraded capability category of User Equipment (UE) to a Node B;
- and
- the Node B allocating HARQ processes for the UE by using a total number of soft channel bits corresponding to the downgraded capability category.
A Node B, comprising:
- a receiving module, configured to receive a notification message from RNC, wherein the notification message carries a downgraded capability category of UE;
- and
- an allocation module, configured to allocate HARQ processes for the UE by using a total number of soft channel bits corresponding to the downgraded capability category.
A radio network controller (RNC), comprising:
- a configuration module, configured to include a downgraded capability category of UE in a notification message;
- and
- a sending module, configured to send the notification message to a Node B.
