RETRANSMISSION OF AN ORIGINALLY COMPRESSED FRAME WITH CONTROL CHANNEL MAPPED TO ALL SLOTS AVAILABLE FOR RETRANSMISSION

摘要

A method of retransmitting an original frame (10) comprises mapping data bits to a lower number of slots than the number of slots available for a retransmission frame (17) and transmitting control channels (14) in all available slots (11, 12) of the retransmission frame. The number of available slots (11, 12) in the retransmission frame is greater than the number of available slots (12) in the original frame.
