First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of transmitting over a channel using hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ), comprising:
- transmitting a first frame containing data to a receiver using a blind detection protocol; and
transmitting a second frame containing at least a portion of the data and information identifying the first frame toward the receiver using the blind detection protocol.

Abstract
A HARQ frame data structure and methods of transmitting and receiving with HARQ in systems using blind detection. In one embodiment, a method of transmitting over a channel using HARQ includes transmitting a first frame containing data toward a blind detection receiver, and transmitting a second frame containing at least a portion of the data and information about the first frame toward the blind detection receiver.

10. A method of receiving over a channel using hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ), comprising:
-
detecting and attempting to decode a first frame containing data using blind detection; detecting a second frame containing at least a portion of the data and information identifying the first frame using blind detection; decoding and employing the information identifying the first frame in associating and combining the first frame and the portion of the data into a combined frame; and decoding the combined frame. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A network interface controller (NIC), comprising:
-
a memory configured to store a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) frame data structure, including; a data field for encoded data bits, and a header field for information identifying a first frame; and a processor coupled to the memory and a transmitter and configured to; compute a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) for the data field and cause the transmitter to transmit the first frame containing the data field and the CRC, and populate the header field, compute at least one CRC for the data field and the header field, and cause the transmitter to transmit a second frame containing the data field, the header field, and the at least one CRC. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A network interface controller (NIC), comprising:
-
a blind detection receiver configured to receive a first frame and a second frame, wherein the first frame includes a data field and the second frame includes a header and at least a portion of the data field; a decoder configured to; attempt to decode the first frame, and decode the header of the second frame, wherein the header includes information identifying the first frame; and a processor configured to employ the information identifying the first frame to associate the first frame and the second frame and combine the portion of the data field and the first frame into a combined frame. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29)
