Abstract
A method for transferring data in a communication system is implemented in a network device. In the method, the network device receives an IR version of a frame, a sequence number, and a revision number in a media access control (MAC) layer. The network device determines whether the received frame can be decoded and acknowledged based on the received sequence number and revision number. The network device sets state variables VS,R equal to 1−VS,R and VRV,R equal to −1 if the frame is decoded.
Claims26
A method for transferring data in a communication system, comprising:
- receiving, by a network device, an incremental redundancy (IR) version of a frame, a sequence number, and a revision number in a media access control (MAC) layer;
- determining, by the network device in accordance with the received sequence number and the received revision number, whether the frame can be decoded and acknowledged;
- and
- setting, by the network device, a state variable VS,R equal to 1−VS,R and a state variable VRV,R equal to −1 if the frame is decoded.
A network device comprising a processor and a memory storage, wherein the network device is configured for:
- receiving an incremental redundancy (IR) version of a frame, a sequence number, and a revision number in a media access control (MAC) layer;
- determining, in accordance with the received sequence number and the received revision number, whether the frame can be decoded and acknowledged;
- and
- setting a state variable VS,R equal to 1−VS,R and a state variable VRV,R equal to −1 if the frame is decoded.
