Claim 21:
22. A product comprising one or more tangible computer-readable non-transitory storage media comprising computer-executable instructions operable to, when executed by at least one processor, enable the at least one processor to cause a wireless communication device to:
buffer in a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) buffer compressed Log Likelihood Ratio (LLR) values corresponding to an unsuccessfully-decoded transmission of a data block, a bit size of the HARQ buffer is equal to or less than 2.5 times a supported HARQ receive (Rx) size, which is to be reported to a transmitter of the data block; and
decode a retransmission of the data block according to a HARQ scheme based on combined LLR values, which are based on the compressed LLR values and on LLR values corresponding to the retransmission of the data block, wherein a HARQ gain of decoding the retransmission of the data block based on the combined LLR values is at least 2 Decibel (dB) for an Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel.
