Abstract:
A signal transmission method and apparatus of a user equipment for a mobile communication system is provided for improving data transmission reliability and efficiency by transmitting data based on precise discrimination of the uplink transmission resource assignment messages indicative of initial transmission and retransmission. A signal transmission method of a user equipment for a mobile communication system receives an uplink transmission resource assignment message from a base station determines whether a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) buffer is empty, and when the HARQ buffer is empty, transmits to the base station a Media Access Control Protocol Data Unit (MAC PDU) generated with reference to information contained in the uplink transmission resource assignment message.

Claim (Index 1):
A signal transmission method of a user equipment for a mobile communication system, comprising:\n receiving an uplink transmission resource assignment message including a new data indicator (NDI) from a base station; identifying whether a buffer of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process is empty; performing a new transmission based on a value of a redundancy version (RV) field included in the uplink transmission resource assignment message if the buffer is empty, the value being set to 0; and performing an adaptive retransmission from the user equipment to the base station which a transmission resource of a media access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU) for the HARQ process is adjusted, if the buffer is not empty and if the NDI is not toggled, identifying a last available retransmission time based on a received message, the message including information on a maximum number of transmissions of a media access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU) in a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process; and flushing the buffer after the last available retransmission time.
