Method and Apparatus for Associating a Packet with an H-ARQ Channel Identifier

摘要

Method and apparatus are provided for transmitting control information to a mobile station. A persistent assignment is transmitted to a mobile station, wherein the persistent assignment includes a plurality of hybrid automatic repeat request (H-ARQ) channel identifiers (ACIDs). A subsequent assignment including an ACID derived from the plurality of ACIDs is transmitted to the mobile station. In another aspect of the invention, a mobile station receives from a base station a persistent assignment including a plurality of ACIDs, and a subsequent assignment including an ACID derived from the plurality of ACIDs.
