Abstract: A method reducing amount of memory utilized by hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) operations is disclosed. When an apparatus employing the method receives an LDPC encoded packet, the apparatus firstly estimates a signal quality value of the received packet, and performs an LDPC decoding algorithm on the received packet. If the received packet is not successfully decoded by the apparatus, the received and decoding-failed packet is compressed in order to reduce bit-width, and the compressed packet is stored in a memory device for later HARQ operations. The apparatus employing the method is also disclosed.
