Systems and methods for information recovery from redundancy version packets

A user equipment (UE) apparatus comprising:

• one or more transceivers configured to receive a plurality of redundancy version packets at from a transmission device, wherein each redundancy version packet of the plurality of redundancy version packets is based on a same group of information bits, wherein a first redundancy version packet of the plurality of redundancy version packets contains more bits of the same group of information bits than do the other redundancy version packets of the plurality of redundancy version packets;
• and
• one or more processors configured to recover the same group of information bits based on one or more second redundancy version packets of the plurality of redundancy version packets but not based on the first redundancy version packet.

A user equipment (UE) apparatus comprising:

• means for receiving a plurality of redundancy version packets from a transmission device, wherein each redundancy version packet of the plurality of redundancy version packets is based on a same group of information bits, wherein a first redundancy version packet of the plurality of redundancy version packets contains more bits of the same group of information bits than do the other redundancy version packets of the plurality of redundancy version packets;
• and
• means for recovering the same group of information bits based on one or more second redundancy version packets of the plurality of redundancy version packets but not based on the first redundancy version packet.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, the medium comprising instructions configured to cause one or more computing devices to:

• receive a plurality of redundancy version packets at a user equipment device from a transmission device, wherein each redundancy version packet of the plurality of redundancy version packets is based on a same group of information bits, wherein a first redundancy version packet of the plurality of redundancy version packets contains more bits of the same group of information bits than do the other redundancy version packets of the plurality of redundancy version packets;
• and
• recover the same group of information bits based on one or more second redundancy version packets of the plurality of redundancy version packets but not based on the first redundancy version packet.
