MULTIPLEXED TRANSMISSION OF DATA FROM MULTIPLE HARQ PROCESSES FOR A SWITCHING OPERATION

摘要

A network sends data blocks in a first/n1h radio frame having a first configuration of uplink to downlink transmission time intervals TTIs. Each of these data blocks originate a separate hybrid automatic repeat request HARQ process. The network then frequency or spatially mutliplexes first re-transmissions of at least two of the data blocks in at least one TTI of a sequentially next second/(n+l)st radio frame having a different second configuration of uplink to downlink TTIs. If necessary second re-transmissions of the HARQ processes can also be similarly multiplexed in a TTI of a third/(n+2)nd radio frame sequentially next after the second/(n+l)st frame. In the examples, if frequency domain multiplexing the frequency mutliplexed first re-transmissions are separately scheduled; or if spatial domain multiplexing the spatially mutliplexed first re-transmissions are scheduled with a single physical downlink control channel PDCCH.
