Abstract
A radio node is configured for use in a wireless communication system. The radio node in this regard is configured to transmit a signal that is punctured by another signal to another radio node. The radio node is also configured to estimate a probability of decoding failure that characterizes a likelihood that the another radio will fail to decode the punctured signal. The radio node is further configured to retransmit at least a punctured portion of the punctured signal if the estimated probability is above a threshold.
Claims24
A method for a radio node to transmit punctured signals in a wireless communications system, the method comprising:
- transmitting a signal that is punctured by another signal to another radio node;
- estimating a probability of decoding failure that characterizes a likelihood that the another radio will fail to decode the punctured signal;
- and
- if the estimated probability is above a threshold, retransmitting at least a punctured portion of the punctured signal.
A method for a radio node to receive punctured signals in a wireless communications system, the method comprising:
- receiving a signal that is punctured by another signal from another radio node;
- detecting that the received signal is punctured;
- and
- ignoring soft information, generated by a decoding process, that corresponds to at least a punctured portion of the punctured signal.

A wireless device for a wireless communications system comprising:
- at least one transceiver;
- at least one processor operably coupled to the at least one transceiver;
- and
- memory comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor whereby the wireless device is operable to perform a method comprising:
- transmitting a signal that is punctured by another signal to another radio node;
- estimating a probability of decoding failure that characterizes a likelihood that the another radio will fail to decode the punctured signal;
- and
- if the estimated probability is above a threshold, retransmitting at least a punctured portion of the punctured signal.

A radio access node for a wireless communications system comprising:
- at least one radio unit comprising at least one transmitter and at least one receiver;
- at least one processor operably coupled to the at least one radio unit;
- and
- memory comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor whereby the radio access node is operable to perform a method comprising:
- receiving a signal that is punctured by another signal from another radio node:
- detecting that the received signal is punctured;
- and
- ignoring soft information, generated by a decoding process, that corresponds to at least a punctured portion of the punctured signal.
