Abstract:
1. A method of performing hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) of a receiver in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving data using a plurality of redundancy versions (RVs) in a transmission time interval (TTI) unit comprising a plurality of consecutive subframes, each of the plurality of RVs being allocated to a corresponding one of the plurality of consecutive subframes; and transmitting an acknowledgment (ACK)/non-acknowledgment (NACK) for the received data, wherein: the ACK/NACK is transmitted with an interval of a predetermined processing delay from a transmission time of a specific redundancy version (RV) among the plurality of RVs; the ACK/NACK is based on an error detection result of the specific RV only or based on an error detection result of the specific RV combined with at least one RV received before the specific RV; and the specific RV is a front-most RV in a time domain among the plurality of RVs.
