Claims6
A method for improving discontinuous reception for a user equipment of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- a user equipment (UE) separately managing retransmission detecting timings of a plurality of overlapping downlink hybrid automatic repeat request (DL HARQ) processes when the discontinuous reception is used in the plurality of DL HARQ processes by assigning an HARQ round trip time timer (HARQ RTT Timer) to each DL HARQ process of the plurality of DL HARQ processes;
- and
- starting the HARQ RTT Timer when receiving packets of corresponding DL HARQ process.
A communication device of a wireless communication system for improving discontinuous reception to enhance flexibility of scheduling retransmission processes, the communication device comprising:
- a processor, for executing a process;
- and
- a storage device coupled to the processor, for storing a program for executing the process;
- wherein the process comprises:
- separately managing retransmission detecting timings of a plurality of overlapping downlink hybrid automatic repeat request (DL HARQ) processes when the discontinuous reception is used in the plurality of DL HARQ processes by assigning an HARQ round trip time timer (HARQ RTT Timer) to each DL HARQ process of the plurality of DL HARQ processes;
- and
- starting the HARQ RTT Timer when receiving packets of corresponding DL HARQ process.
