A METHOD OF TIMING THE HARQ FEEDBACK WHEN THE CORRESPONDING TRANSMISSION OVERLAPS WITH THE MEASUREMENT GAPS IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The HARQ feedbacks are generated by the network for the HARQ processes that were received from the UE prior to commencement of the measurement gap. The network then determines the subframes during which the HARQ feedbacks could be transmitted. The subframes are determined based on position of the overlapping measurement gap and the bundled TTIs in the bundled HARQ RTT. The HARQ feedbacks are transmitted by the network either after the measurement gap or prior to the commencement of the measurement gap depending on the overlap. The UE receives the HARQ feedbacks during the determined subframes and then retransmits corresponding redundancy versions of the data to the network after the measurement gap depending on the HARQ feedback. The UE retransmits after the measurement gap during one or more subframes of the next bundled HARQ RTT.
