Methods and systems for HARQ protocols
First Claim
1. A user equipment device (UE), comprising:
- at least one antenna;
at least one radio coupled to the antenna, wherein the at least one radio is configured to perform cellular communication using at least one radio access technology (RAT);
one or more processors coupled to the at least one radio, wherein the one or more processors and the at least one radio are configured to perform voice and/or data communications;
wherein the UE is configured to;
receive control information from a base station for a transmission, wherein the control information comprises;
information to uniquely identify a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process, wherein the HARQ process comprises a first transmission of an encoder packet and at least one retransmission, in which a transmission resource for each respective transmission is allocated; and
an identification of one of a time resource, a frequency resource and a time and frequency resource that is allocated for the transmission.

Abstract
Methods described herein are for wireless communication systems. One aspect of the invention is directed to a method for a HARQ process, in which the HARQ process includes a first transmission of an encoder packet and at least one retransmission. The method involves allocating a transmission resource for each respective transmission. The method involves transmitting control information from a base station to a mobile station for each respective transmission. The control information includes information to uniquely identify the HARQ process and an identification of one of a time resource, a frequency resource and a time and frequency resource that is allocated for the transmission. Other aspects of the invention are directed to acknowledging a downlink HARQ transmission, rescheduling an uplink HARQ transmission, and error recovery for an uplink HARQ transmission.
