Abstract:
1. A method for use in a base station of a wireless communications system, the method comprising: receiving data packets from a network; dividing the data packets into one or more data streams; performing outer encoding on the one or more data streams to generate one or more outer-encoded data blocks, wherein each of the one or more outer-encoded data blocks is associated with an outer-coding transmission interval, wherein the outer-coding transmission interval comprises a plurality of consecutive data packets; mapping each of the one or more outer-encoded data blocks to an outer-coding transmission interval vector based on the associated outer-coding transmission interval, wherein the outer-coding transmission interval vector identifies each of the one or more outer-encoded data blocks within a downlink portion of a frame; combining the one or more outer-encoded data blocks with non-encoded information; transmitting the outer-coding transmission interval vector to a user equipment (UE) via an air interface of the wireless communications system to enable the UE to identify each of the one or more outer-encoded data blocks; and transmitting the combined one or more outer-encoded data blocks and non-encoded information to the UE via the air interface.
