Abstract:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a processor configured to determine a total number of soft channel bits, a first number associated with hybrid automatic retransmit request processes and a second number associated with hybrid automatic retransmit request processes; and the processor further configured to select a size of a soft buffer memory partition based at least in part on the total number of soft channel bits, the first number associated with hybrid automatic retransmit request processes and the second number associated with hybrid automatic retransmit request processes; wherein the first number associated with hybrid automatic retransmit request processes comprises a maximum number of downlink hybrid automatic retransmit request processes and the second number associated with hybrid automatic retransmit request processes comprises a configured maximum number of hybrid automatic retransmit request processes; and wherein the size of the soft buffer memory partition is selected based at least in part on the following: Wherein N IR is the size of the soft buffer memory partition; N K M M
