Abstract:
1. A method for signaling scheduling information in a spatial multiplexing wireless communications system, the method comprising: scheduling first and second transport blocks for simultaneous transmission during a first transmission interval on first and second data substreams, respectively; assigning a single re-transmission process identifier for the first transmission interval; transmitting first scheduling information for the first transmission interval, the first scheduling information comprising the re-transmission process identifier and first disambiguation data, wherein the first disambiguation data indicates whether the first transport block is associated with the first or second data substream, and whether the second transport block is associated with the first or second data substream; scheduling the second transport block for re-transmission during a second transmission interval; and transmitting second scheduling information for the second transmission interval, the second scheduling information comprising the re-transmission process identifier and second disambiguation data, wherein the second disambiguation data indicates whether the re-transmission of the second transport block is scheduled for the first or second data substream.
