Title: A redundancy version implementation for an uplink enhanced dedicated channel
Inventor: MALKAMAKI ESA
IPC: H04W28/04
Filed: 2005-03-22
Abstract: This invention describes a method for a redundancy version implementation of an uplink (UL) enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) in mobile communication systems by calculating a redundancy version number (RVN) as a function of a connection frame number (CFN), a maximum number of processed HARQs (hybrid automatic repeat requests) N<SUB>ARQ</SUB>, and a number of redundancy versions N<SUB>RV</SUB>. Instead of signaling a RV parameter outband in UL, the RVN is determined by the network element using simple rules which ensures that the same RVN is never used successively for the same HARQ process, and that all possible RV numbers are used for one HARQ process.
