Abstract:
1. A method, implemented by a transmitter, of adapting retransmission settings in a wireless communication terminal, the method comprising: coding an input bit stream to generate a block of coded bits for transmission from a transmitter to a receiver; determining a number of filler bits added to the input bit stream for said coding; interleaving the coded bits; determining a number of dummy bits added to said coded bits for said interleaving; transmitting, in an initial transmission, a first set of said coded bits; determining one or more retransmission parameters based on the code rate of the said initial transmission, number of filler bits used for coding and the number of dummy bits used for interleaving; and transmitting, in a retransmission, a second set of said coded bits selected based on said retransmission parameters.
