HARQ BUFFER MANAGEMENT AND FEEDBACK DESIGN FOR A WIRELESS SYSTEM

摘要

A method is disclosed for performing HARQ buffer management. The HARQ buffer management method is a new approach to buffer overflow management that allows the mobile station, rather than the base station, to control the size of its buffer. The HARQ buffer management reports buffer size, buffer occupancy status, and buffer overflow to the base station, to facilitate efficient communication between the base station and the mobile station.
