  • ARQ processes associated with the available physical resources Since each H- ARQ process 102a-102n is associated with a particular physical resource, when available physical resources are identified, available H-ARQ processes are also identified. The available physical resources and associated H-ARQ processes may be determined at the start of a common TTI boundary. The association may also be semi-statically configured over a period of multiple TTIs. [0027] The available physical resources are the number of independent spatial streams, subcarriers, channelization codes andtimeslots that can be used for data transmission within a certain period.
  • the available physical resources for one WTRU are dependent on many factors such as number of WTRUs that a Node-B needs to support in one cell, the interference level from other cells, the channel condition of the WTRU, the QoS levels (such as priorities, latency, fairness and buffer status) of the services the WTRU needs to support, the data rates one WTRU needs to support, or the like.
  • H-ARQ processes 102a- 102n operate simultaneously and in parallel. Since H-ARQ processes 102a- 102n may take a different number of retransmissions for successful transmission and since the data flows mapped to the H-ARQ processes 102a-102n may have QoS requirements that determine a different maximum number of retransmissions or different TTI sizes, a certain H-ARQ may not be available if H-ARQ processes are not synchronized with each other. Any number of H-ARQ processes may become available in any TTI. In accordance with the present invention, more than one H-ARQ process and associated set of physical resources become available in a common TTI. The association between H-ARQ processes and physical resources is coordinated by the controller 106.
  • the controller 106 maps higher layer data flows 108a- 108m, (i.e., multiple flows of MAC or RLC protocol data units (PDUs)), to at least two multiplexing and link adaptation processors 104a-104n and their associated H- ARQ processes 102a-102n.

  • unequal error protection may also be achieved by mapping the higher layer data flows 108a-108m, that may be grouped in accordance with QoS requirements to different H-ARQ processes 102a- 102n based on the data flow QoS requirements and CQIs associated with the set of physical resources assigned to each H-ARQ process. For example, CQIs may show that one set of physical resources is better than other sets of physical resources.

  • the multiplexing and link adaptation processor 104a- 104n may apply different MCS, transport block size, TTI size and/or transmit power to different physical resources based on channel condition in order to maximize the' performance.
  • each data block that is assigned to each physical resource is preferably associated with a separate CRC.
  • the entire packet distributed to different physical resources does not need to be retransmitted upon a transmission error because each transport block is associated with a separate CRC and is processed by a separate H-ARQ process 102a- 102n.

  • Available physical resources and their channel quality associated with each H-ARQ process 102a-102n are identified (step 202).
  • QoS requirements and buffer occupancy of higher layer data flow 112a-112m to be transmitted are determined (step 204). It should be noted that the steps in the process 200 may be performed in different order and some steps may be performed in parallel. For example, the step 204 may be applied before the step 202, or simultaneously.
  • the controller 106 may determine the type of higher layer data flows 112a-112m for TFC selection processing based on QoS parameters associated with those higher layer data flows.
  • the controller 106 may also determine the order in which the higher layer data flows are serviced. The order of processing may be determined by QoS requirements or absolute priority. Alternatively, a life span time parameter may be used in determining the duration that the higher layer data packets may stay in an H-ARQ queue so that the controller 106 may prioritize or discard higher layer data packets based on the life span time parameter.
  • H-ARQ processes 102a- 102n by the controller 106. Physical transmission parameters and H-ARQ configurations are determined for each of the available H-ARQ processes 102a- 102n to support the required QoS of the higher layer data flows 112a-112m mapped to each of the H-ARQ processes 102a- 102n (step 206). When more than one H-ARQ process is available for transmission in a TTI, it is necessary to determine which higher layer data flows 112a-112m should be mapped to different H-ARQ processes. The higher layer data flows 112a-112m may or may not have similar QoS requirements.
  • the QoS provided by the H-ARQ processes 102a-102n is normalized, (i.e., transmission parameters, (such as, MCS, TB size and transmission power), and H-ARQ configurations are adjusted each TTI a TFC is selected such that the QoS provided across the H- ARQ processes 102a-102n is similar).
  • the QoS normalization across multiple H- ARQ processes 102a-102n may be realized by adjusting the link adaptation parameters (e.g., MCS, TB size, transmission power, or the like) across the H- ARQ processes 102a-102n. For example, a higher MCS may be assigned to the physical resources that have better channel quality and a lower MCS may be assigned to the physical resources that have worse channel quality. This may result in different sizes of the multiplexed data block for different H-ARQ processes.
  • the higher layer data flows 112a-112m may be mapped to H-ARQ processes 102a-102n associated with physical resources with quality that closely matches the QoS requirements of the higher layer data flows 112a-112m.
  • An advantage of using multiple H-ARQ processes is its flexibility to multiplex logical channels or MAC flows with different QoS requirements to different H-ARQ processes 102a-102n and associated-physical resources.
  • data with a higher QoS is mapped to the H-ARQ process associated with that physical resource. This enhances physical resource utilization and maximizes system throughput.
  • an MCS and/or the maximum number of retransmissions may be configured to differentiate the QoS to more closely match the logical channel or MAC flow's QoS requirements.

Data multiplexing for each H-ARQ process 102a-102n may be processed sequentially or in parallel.
  • the TBs are then transmitted simultaneously via the associated H-ARQ processes 102a- 102n (step 210). [0042]
  • the transmitted TBs may or may not be successfully received at the communication peer.
  • a failed TB is retransmitted in a subsequent TTI.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil qui permettent de sélectionner plusieurs formats de transport, et de transmettre plusieurs blocs de transport (TB) simultanément dans un intervalle de temps de transmission, en utilisant plusieurs processus de demande de répétition automatique hybride (H-ARQ) dans un système de communication sans fil. Des ressources physiques disponibles et des processus H-ARQ associés auxdites ressources physiques sont identifiées et la qualité de la voie pour chaque ressource physique disponible est déterminée. Des critères de qualité de service (QoS) de données de la couche supérieure à transmettre sont déterminées. Les données de la couche supérieure sont mappées relativement à au moins deux processus H-ARQ. Des configurations de transmission physique et de H-ARQ destinées à servir de support à des critères QoS des données de la couche supérieure mappées relativement à chaque processus H-ARQ sont déterminées. Des TB sont générés à partir des données mappées de la couche supérieure, conformément aux configurations de transmission physique et de H-ARQ de chaque processus H-ARQ, respectivement. Les TB sont transmis simultanément par l'intermédiaire des processus H-ARQ.
