Abstract:
1. A method for transmitting multiple transport blocks (TBs) in a transmission time interval (TTI) the method comprising: identifying at least two sets of available physical resources, each set of physical resources having different frequency subcarriers and each set of physical resources being associated with a different hybrid automatic repeat request (H-ARQ) process; obtaining a channel quality measurement of each set of physical resources; mapping at least one higher layer data flow to at least two H-ARQ processes; determining physical transmission parameters and H-ARQ configurations for each set of available physical resources and associated H-ARQ process to support QoS requirements of the higher layer data flow multiplexed into a transport block and provided to each H-ARQ process, wherein the physical transmission parameters include a modulation and coding scheme (MCS); multiplexing the at least one higher layer data flow into transport blocks (TBs) in accordance with the physical transmission parameters and H-ARQ configurations of each set of available physical resources and associated H-ARQ process and processing each TB in response to the determined physical transmission parameters and over subcarriers of the set of physical resources associated with the HARQ process of that transport block; and transmitting the TBs via the at least two H-ARQ processes in the TTI.
