Abstract
An approach is provided for efficient signaling of redundancy version information. A redundancy version signaling module detects the start of a system information radio transmission window and assigns a redundancy version sequence at the start of the transmission window.
Claims9
A method comprising:
- detecting start of a system information message transmission window;
- selecting a redundancy version sequence at the start of the transmission window;
- and
- assigning a redundancy version to subframes across the transmission window in order of transmission of the subframes and according to the selected redundancy version sequence,
- wherein the assigning includes excluding uplink subframes, multi-cast subframes, and a predetermined subframe in even-numbered radio frames if the predetermined subframe is within the transmission window, and
- wherein the assigning is continuous from subframes of a first radio frame to subframes of a next radio frame.
3 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory;
- a processor operably coupled to the memory;
- and
- instructions stored in the memory that when executed by the processor cause the apparatus to
- detect a start of a system information message transmission window and;
- select a redundancy version sequence at the start of the transmission window,
- assign a redundancy version to subframes across the transmission window in order of transmission of the subframes and according to the selected redundancy version sequence,
- wherein the assignment includes excluding uplink subframes, multi-cast subframes, and a predetermined subframe in even-numbered radio frames if the predetermined subframe is within the transmission window, and
- wherein the assigning is continuous from subframes of a first radio frame to subframes of a next radio frame.
6 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to perform:
- detecting start of a system information message transmission window;
- and
- selecting a redundancy version sequence at the start of the transmission window,
- assigning a redundancy version to subframes across the transmission window in order of transmission of the subframes and according to the selected redundancy version sequence,
- wherein the assigning includes excluding uplink subframes, multi-cast subframes, and a predetermined subframe in even-numbered radio frames if the predetermined subframe is within the transmission window, and
- wherein assigning is continuous from subframes of a first radio frame to subframes of a next radio frame.
