INTRA-CLUSTER D2D RETRANSMISSION WITH INSTANTANEOUS LINK ADAPTATION AND ADAPTIVE NUMBER OF RE-TRANSMITTER

摘要

A method for intra-cluster D2D retransmission comprises: calculating parameters of a first and a second retransmission modes for an acknowledgement device in a cluster at which data from a network node is decoded correctly; reporting the parameters to the network node; and determining whether or not to retransmit the data to at least one non-acknowledgement device in the cluster at which the data from the network node is decoded incorrectly, in response to a selection between the first and the second retransmission modes from the network node based at least in part on the parameters according to a pre-determined criterion.
