Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for efficiently controlling buffers which support a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) in a wireless communication system. Buffer regions for the HARQ scheme are not fixedly allocated according to channel identification information, but are allocated from the viewpoint of one overall memory through aggregation support. That is, an HARQ buffer is dynamically controlled. Therefore, there are the effects reducing the size of the entire chip, as well as reducing power consumption of the entire system according to the reduction of the chip size.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a display device is presented. The method includes mounting the memory on the printed circuit board (PCB) and writing the characteristic data in the memory. The characteristic data, which is data that is specific to a display device having a particular specification, allows an operator to verify that the correct characteristic data is being used for the display device type, size, etc. By mounting the memory on the PCB before the characteristic data is written in the memory but after the characteristic data is written in the PCB test procedure, the method allows the display device to be manufactured with fewer number of workers and fewer steps in the manufacturing process. A display device made using this method is also presented.
