Method and device for managing a memory for buffer-storing data blocks in ARQ transmission systems

摘要

A data block to be transmitted to a receiver is subjected to channel coding and puncturing in a transmitter. For the purpose of managing data block versions obtained from repeat transmissions of this data block in the receiver, a memory area is provided for storing received data block versions in punctured form. A decision is made regarding whether or not a received data block version for a data block whose decoding in the receiver has failed to date is stored in the memory area.
