Claim Text:
1. A method for receiving a dual stream transmission in a system employing Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) retransmission, wherein HARQ process identifiers are grouped into pairs of sub-process identifiers, such that each sub-process is identifiable by a four-bit address, and wherein three bits have identical values in both sub-processes in a pair, and wherein one bit indicates which sub-process is transmitted on which stream, the method comprising: receiving four bits corresponding to a single sub-process address; receiving a first transport block with a first sub-process on a first stream, and a second transport block with a second sub-process on a second stream; and determining, based on the single sub-process address and a pairing of sub-process identifiers, which sub-process is transmitted on which stream.
