SYMBOL DETECTION TECHNIQUE

摘要

A technique of processing an Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) transmission is disclosed. As to a method aspect of the technique, the method (200) comprises the steps of requesting (210) a retransmission of a transport block; receiving (220) the retransmission of the transport block; and detecting (230) modulation symbols. The retransmission is requested in response to an error-detecting code indicating an error in the transport block as received in at least one previous transmission. The modulation symbols are detected based on at least a part of the received retransmission and information from the at least one previous transmission. At least in some embodiments, a detection rate is thus improved.
