REDUCING ALLOCATION SIGNALLING AT RETRANSMISSIONS

摘要

The invention provides a method or system where the network element (NE) sends an allocation to the user equipment (UE) based on whether a HARQ retransmission is expected. For example, if a HARQ retransmission is expected, then the UE can reduce the information contained in the allocation so as to send less (or no) bits in the downlink.
