FRAME EARLY TERMINATION OF UL TRANSMISSIONS ON DEDICATED CHANNEL

摘要

A method for determining when transmissions of data and control information from a transceiver unit can be terminated prior to complete transmission of the data packets, in a system in which the receivers in the transceiver units attempt to decode the data packets prior to their complete receiption and send acknowledgment feedback about the success or failure of these decode attempts. The method consists of terminating the data transmission as well as the portion of the control transmission that is only required to enable decoding of the data transmission, as soon as the data transmission is acknowledged by its intended receiver, terminating the entire transmission (both data and control) as soon as both the following have occurred: the data transmission has already been terminated; the packet transmissions occuring during the same time interval that are intended for reception by the receiver within the transceiver unit have been received and an acknowledgment has been sent to indicate the reception.
