Abstract:
1. A method for retransmitting packets from a transmitting side, the method comprising: transmitting a packet including blocks to a receiving side, wherein the block is configured as codeword bits; receiving, from the receiving side, first information indicating at least one block which has been successfully decoded and at least one block which has not been successfully decoded, adjusting the size of each block based on the first information, wherein adjusting the size of each block comprises increasing the size of a block which is not successfully decoded and reducing the size of a block which is successfully decoded, changing the mapping order of each block having an adjusted size; and, mapping each block to subcarriers in accordance with the changed mapping order, wherein mapping each block comprises: mapping the block which is not successfully decoded to a first frequency band in which the block which is successfully decoded in a previous transmission is transmitted, and mapping the block which is successfully decoded to a second frequency band in which the block which is not successfully decoded in the previous transmission is transmitted; and retransmitting the packet without a new block in accordance with the mapped result to the receiving side.
