BASE STATION, MOBILE STATION, AND COMMUNICATION METHOD

摘要

A base station for retransmitting a transmission packet in response to a retransmission request for the transmission packet from a mobile station includes a retransmission control unit configured to receive the retransmission request from the mobile station; a scheduling unit configured to determine an available packet size on the same logical channel as used for the transmission packet, when channel quality at the time of retransmitting the transmission packet in response to the retransmission request is improved compared to channel quality at the time of initially transmitting the transmission packet; a segmentation/concatenation unit configured to segment a packet to be transmitted on the same logical channel as used for the transmission packet based on the available packet size determined by the scheduling unit; and a multiplexing unit configured to multiplex the transmission packet to be retransmitted and the packet segmented by the segmentation/concatenation unit.
