HARQ adaptation for acquisition of neighbor cell system information

摘要

A method in a mobile station including receiving an order from a serving cell for system information acquisition of a neighbor cell, wherein the order includes at least a physical cell identifier and a time limit for acquisition of the system information of the neighbor cell, acquiring the system information of the neighbor cell within the time limit for the acquisition of the system information, and reporting at least a part of the acquired system information to the serving cell.

1. A method in a mobile station for acquiring system information from a neighbor cell, the method comprising:
determining, at the mobile station, that a planned transmission of a packet through a first HARQ process on a wireless communication link to a serving cell overlaps, at least in part, a time window in which a neighbor cell transmits the system information; and transmitting from the mobile station, the packet on the wireless communication link between the mobile station and the serving cell through a second HARQ process, wherein the second HARQ process is suspended when a time limit for acquiring the system information from the neighbor cell has been reached.
