A wireless device for implementing Incremental Redundancy (IR) operations, comprising:
- a memory dedicated to store data related to the IR operations of the wireless device, the memory including:
- a Type I IR memory adapted to store IR status information of a Radio Link Control (RLC) data block;
- and
- a Type II IR memory adapted to store the RLC data block.
A method for storing data related to Incremental Redundancy (IR) operations of a wireless device, the wireless device including a memory dedicated to store data related to the IR operations, the memory including a Type I IR memory and a Type II IR memory, the method comprising:
- storing IR status information regarding a Radio Link Control (RLC) data block in the Type I IR memory;
- allocating the Type II IR memory for the RLC data block;
- storing an address of the allocated Type II IR memory in the Type I IR memory;
- and
- storing at least a portion of soft decision bits of the RLC data block in the allocated Type II IR memory.
