METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SOFT BUFFER MANAGEMENT FOR CARRIER AGGREGATION

摘要

An apparatus and a method therein include selecting a size of a soft buffer memory partition per component carrier in a Carrier Aggregation scenario. The method supports multiple carriers to select a size of a soft buffer memory partition, the partition associated with receiving data on at least one component carrier, the multi-carrier system comprising at least two component carriers, each component carrier is associated with a configured bandwidth, the apparatus comprising the processor configured to select a size of a soft buffer memory partition for the first component carrier based at least in part on a first total number of soft channel bits, a first number associated with hybrid automatic retransmit request processes, and the configured bandwidth of the first component carrier.

1. A wireless communication device supporting multiple carriers, the multiple carriers comprising at least two component carriers, each component carrier is associated with a configured bandwidth, the apparatus comprising:
a receiver; a memory element; a processor coupled to the receiver and to the memory element, the processor configured to determine a size of a soft buffer memory partition of the memory element for a first component carrier based on a first configured bandwidth of the first component carrier and a second configured bandwidth of a second component carrier, and the processor configured to control the receiver to receive data on the first component carrier based on the size of the soft buffer memory partition.
