TIME EFFICIENT GROUP DATA ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

摘要

A method and apparatus for time-efficient confirmed group data acknowledgement includes a radio subscriber unit (SU) configured to (i) generate a receive status message comprising a first synchronization pattern indicating successful receipt of a set of data blocks when the SU has successfully received the set of data blocks from a base radio, (ii) generate a receive status message comprising a second synchronization pattern indicating unsuccessful receipt of a set of data blocks when the SU has not successfully received the set of data blocks from the base radio, and (iii) transmit the generated receive status message from the SU to the base radio during an uplink transmit time interval assigned by the base radio.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving at a radio subscriber unit (SU), a set of one or more data blocks from a base radio; receiving at the SU, an indication of a designated uplink transmit time interval (TTI) during which the SU is scheduled to transmit a receive status message to the base radio; determining by the SU, whether the SU has successfully received each data block in the set of one or more data blocks; and in response to determining that the SU has successfully received each of the one or more data blocks, the SU transmitting a receive status message during the designated uplink TTI to the base radio, wherein the receive status message comprises a first synchronization pattern indicating that the SU successfully received each data block in the set of the one or more data blocks.
