  • Patent number: 7609680
    Abstract: There is provided a device and method for retransmitting error-detected data in a mobile communication system. A transmitter generates S sub-codes Ci (i=0, 1, 2, . . . , S?1) from a physical layer packet (PLP) information stream using quasi-complementary turbo codes, initially transmits the first sub-code C0, and then sequentially transmits the following sub-codes each time a retransmission request is received for the initial transmission or a previous retransmission. Upon receipt of a retransmission request for the last sub-code CS?1, the transmitter transmits the first sub-code C0 and then sequentially transmits the following sub-codes each time a retransmission request is received.

  • Patent number: 7185257
    Abstract: There is provided a data transmitting/receiving method in an HARQ data communication system. To transmit a physical layer information stream having a plurality of sub-blocks, each sub-block having an error correction code, a QoS (Quality of Service), and a priority if the sub-blocks has a different QoS, the encoded physical layer information stream is divided into a plurality of slots. The slot data are sequentially transmitted to a receiver in predetermined time intervals. If an HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request) message for the initial slot data is received from the receiver, indicating that at least one of the sub-block in the initial slot data has a reception error and the other sub-blocks are good in reception, slot data with a sub-block having an error repeated within the number of the sub-blocks is retransmitted after transmission of initial slot data.
