Abstract
A method for use in a wireless communication device for controlling hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process includes: determining a prediction of decoding result of a received data block based on at least signal strength of at least one of the received data block, a received control block, and a received reference signal; and sending a HARQ feedback message to another wireless communication device from which the received data block is transmitted according to the prediction decoding result.
Claims21
A method for use in a wireless communication device for controlling hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process, comprising:
- determining a prediction of decoding result of a received data block based on at least signal strength of at least one of the received data block, a received control block, and a received reference signal;
- and
- sending a HARQ feedback message to another wireless communication device from which the received data block is transmitted according to the prediction of the decoding result.
An apparatus for use in a wireless communication device for HARQ process, comprising:
- a decoding prediction component, arranged to determine a prediction of decoding result of a received data block based on at least signal strength of at least one of the received data block, a received control block, and a received reference signal;
- and
- a HARQ feedback message transmitting component, arranged to send a HARQ feedback message to another wireless communication device from which the received data block is transmitted according to the prediction of decoding result.
An apparatus for use in a wireless communication device for HARQ process, comprising:
- a HARQ feedback message receiving component, arranged to receive a first HARQ negative acknowledgement message (HARQ NACK) that is generated according to a prediction of decoding result of a transmitted data block that is received by another wireless communication device;
- and
- a retransmission control component, arranged to schedule retransmission of the transmitted data block in response to the first HARQ NACK.
