Hybrid automatic repeat request method in a mobile communication system and transmission/reception method and apparatus using the same

摘要

A Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) method performed in a receiver of a mobile communication system. The HARQ method includes receiving from a transmitter an initial transmission subpacket among a plurality of subpackets; sending a request for transmission of a retransmission subpacket to the transmitter upon failure to decode the initial transmission subpacket; receiving the retransmission subpacket using control information previously received from the transmitter upon failure to receive, from the transmitter, control information for reception of the retransmission subpacket; and receiving the retransmission subpacket using currently received control information upon receipt of the control information from the transmitter.
