  • Patent number: 8934471
    Abstract: The invention provides methods for implementing synchronous uplink HARQ process in multiple BS coordinated receiving network. According to one embodiment, for synchronous uplink HARQ process with a relatively short response time limit, the service BS provides a receiving response in accordance with the response time limit, and formally instructs the terminal to retransmit or start a new transmission after the merging is completed. According to another embodiment, the synchronous uplink HARQ process has a response time limit matching the delay of multiple BS Coordinated network, and thus the service BS can transmit receiving response or control signaling on PDCCH after the mergence is completed. Thereby, the synchronous uplink HARQ process in multiple BS Coordinated networks of LTE and LTEA can be implemented.

  • Patent number: 8681685
    Abstract: According to a detailed embodiment of the invention, the RS implements the following operations by using each of M shift parameter groups: Based on M shift parameters in the group, shifting respectively M decoded bit streams and merge the M shifted bit steams to get a check bit stream. Consequently M check bit streams are obtained by using M shift parameter groups. Then the RS transmits M check bit streams to the BS. The BS has received the M uplink signals from mobile terminals before and makes the M check bit streams as the check information of those uplink signals in order to check them better and reduce error rate. By adopting the method and device proposed by the invention, it is ensured in the low SNR regime error user rate or error block rate is more ideal in multi-user detection in the BS.
