Abstract
A frequency allocation method and apparatus using a mirroring-assisted frequency hopping pattern is provided for retransmission in a wireless communication system operating in frequency hopping mode. A frequency allocation method for a wireless communication system operating in frequency hopping mode includes generating a mirroring pattern having a mirroring-assisted frequency hopping interval identical with a data retransmission interval; and allocating different frequency bands for an initial transmission and retransmission by performing frequency hopping according to the mirroring pattern. Preferably, the mirroring-assisted frequency hopping interval is shorter than the data retransmission interval.
Claims16
A frequency allocation method for a wireless communication system operating in frequency hopping mode, comprising:
- determining whether mirroring is used or not, the mirroring being determined to be used and not to be used alternately in accordance with a number of packet transmissions;
- allocating a frequency resource for a packet transmission based on a result of the determination;
- and
- receiving a packet using the allocated frequency resource.
A reception apparatus for a wireless communication system operating in frequency hopping mode, comprising:
- a frequency allocator which determines whether mirroring is used or not, the mirroring being determined to be used and not to be used alternately in accordance with a number of packet transmissions, and allocates frequency resource for a packet transmission based on a result of the determining;
- and
- a communication unit for receiving a packet using the allocated frequency resource.
