Method and a transmitter/receiver for reduced signaling in a retransmission system using hybrid automatic repeat

摘要

The present invention relates to a transmitter and a receiver for a mobile communication system. The basic idea of the present invention is to target the number of HARQ transmissions that is required to be able to decode the transmitted data successfully and to only transmit HARQ feedback information if the decoding result differs from an expected result, wherein the expected result is based on the targeted number of required HARQ transmissions.
