<p>A method for controlling communications between a mobile device and a pair of base stations during a soft hand off (SHO) mode of operation in a wireless system using HARQ is provided. To accommodate out-of-order data packets received at the base stations during SHO, a sequence number is formed and transmitted to the Radio Network Controller (RNC). The RNC is configured to combine the data packets received from the base stations and then use the sequence numbers to re-order the combined data packets.</p> |
