METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING HARQ MODE

摘要

The invention discloses a method for determining an HARQ mode so as to facilitate the use of the same HARQ modes at the network side and the UE side. The method includes: transmitting a reconfiguration message to instruct a UE to be reconfigured as a TTI bundling HARQ mode; detecting activation, upon reception of a feedback of the UE for the reconfiguration message, to determine whether a TTI bundling mechanism is validated at the UE side; and determining from a detection result an HARQ mode adopted by the UE. The invention further discloses an apparatus for performing the method.
