ERROR CONTROL IN MULTI-CARRIER WIRELESS SYSTEMS

摘要

Methods and apparatus for signaling scheduling information in a multi-carrier wireless communications system (700), as well as corresponding methods and apparatus for processing such signaling information, are disclosed. An exemplary method comprises scheduling (610) first and second transport blocks for simultaneous transmission during a first transmission interval on first and second component carriers, and transmitting (620) a common re-transmission process identifier for the first transmission interval. The method further comprises scheduling (640) at least one of the first and second transport blocks for re-transmission during a second transmission interval, along with a third transport block, and transmitting (660) second scheduling information for the second transmission interval, the second scheduling information comprising the same common re-transmission process identifier.
