Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method in a cellular communication system, for avoiding errors in a HARQ process, wherein an NDI flag is used both for indicating either semi-persistent scheduling, SPS activation or SPS retransmissions, and also for indicating, by toggling of the flag, a new transmission in dynamic scheduling mode. The method comprises the steps of receiving, in a scheduling message, an indication that dynamically scheduled transmission will take place; if a semi persistent resource has occurred for the same HARQ process since a previously received indication for dynamically scheduled transmission, then considering the NDI flag to be toggled regardless of the value of the NDI flag. Thus, if the condition is fulfilled, a UE will always regard the NDI flag as indicating or requesting a new data transmission.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for processing scheduling information in a cellular communication system, the method comprising:\n receiving, at a user equipment (UE), a scheduling message indicating an allocation of transmission resources for an uplink or downlink transmission associated with a first Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) process of the UE; and if the scheduling message is addressed to an identifier that is associated with dynamic scheduling for the UE and a most recent previous transmission for the first HARQ process occurred on a semi-persistent scheduled resource:\n interpreting the scheduling message as scheduling a new data transmission regardless of a value of a new data indicator (NDI) flag in the scheduling message; and \n receiving or transmitting a new data transmission for the first HARQ process in accordance with the scheduling message.
