Abstract
Various solutions for supporting a semi-hybrid retransmission mechanism in mobile communications are described. An apparatus may perform an UL transmission of at least one first transport block (TB) associated with at least one hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process to the network node. The apparatus may receive feedback information corresponding to the UL transmission from the network node. The apparatus may perform an UL retransmission of data from the first TB to the network node using a second TB in an event that the feedback information indicates the UL transmission being unsuccessful and indicates a non-HARQ type of retransmission.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- performing, by a processor of an apparatus, an UL transmission of at least one first transport block (TB) associated with at least one hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process to a network node;
- receiving, by the processor, feedback information corresponding to the UL transmission from the network node;
- and
- performing, by the processor, an UL retransmission of data from the first TB to the network node using a second TB in an event that the feedback information indicates the UL transmission being unsuccessful and indicates a non-HARQ type of retransmission.
A method, comprising:
- scheduling, by a processor of a network node to an apparatus, an uplink (UL) transmission of at least one first transport block (TB) associated with at least one hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process;
- receiving, by the processor, the UL transmission from the apparatus for the HARQ process using the first TB;
- transmitting, by the processor, feedback information corresponding to the UL transmission to the apparatus, wherein the feedback information indicates the UL transmission being unsuccessful and indicates a non-HARQ type of retransmission;
- and
- receiving, by the processor, an UL retransmission from the apparatus of data from the first TB using a second TB.
A method, comprising:
- scheduling, by a processor of a network node to an apparatus, a downlink (DL) transmission of at least one first transport block (TB) associated with at least one hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process;
- performing, by the processor, the DL transmission to the apparatus for the HARQ process using the first TB;
- receiving, by the processor, feedback information corresponding to the DL transmission from the apparatus, wherein the feedback information indicates the DL transmission being unsuccessful;
- and
- performing, by the processor, a DL retransmission to the apparatus of data from the first TB using a second TB in an event that at least one condition is met.
