  • Patent number: 9300439
    Abstract: The present invention provides a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) failure indication method, an HARQ failure indication data frame and a Serving Node B thereof. In the above method, when the decoding of the received Enhanced Dedicated Transport Channel (EDCH) data frame is unsuccessful and the condition of sending HARQ failure indication is satisfied currently, Serving Node B sends an HARQ failure indication data frame to the Service Radio Network Controller (SRNC). Wherein, a carrier identifier which indicates the carrier on which the HARQ failure happens is carried in the HARQ failure indication data frame. According to the present invention, when the SRNC receives the HARQ failure indication data frame, SRNC can perform Outer Loop Power Control (OLPC).
