The present invention relates to HARQ, particularly for IEEE 802.11, i.e. Wi-Fi. The invention proposes a transmitting device for supporting such HARQ, in which the order of scrambling and encoding is changed compared to the conventional transmitter. Likewise the invention proposes a receiving device for supporting such HARQ, in which the order of descrambling and decoding is changed compared to the conventional receiver. In particular, the transmitting device is configured to encode at least one data unit using Forward Error Correction (FEC) coding, scramble the encoded data unit based on a scrambling seed, provide an indication of the scrambling seed that is separate from the scrambled and encoded data unit, and transmit the indication of the scrambling seed and then the scrambled and encoded data unit to a receiving device.
Transmitting device (100) for supporting Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request, HARQ, the transmitting device (100) being configured to:
Receiving device (300) for supporting Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request, HARQ, the receiving device (300) being configured to:
Method (200) for supporting Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request, HARQ, the method comprising:
