  • LTE long term evolution
  • the fixed LTE HARQ cycle imposes a strict timing relationship between a packet transmission and its HARQ feedback. As a result, there is inflexibility in packet scheduling.
  • TDD time division duplexing
  • the fixed HARQ cycle must be designed to account for larger packet processing delays. Packet processing, in particular, decoding times, may depend on several factors, such as transport block size and/or receiver hardware capability. As a result, a fixed HARQ cycle prevents receivers with shorter decoding times from responding earlier, increasing latency.
  • Latency reduction techniques are addressed in the third generation partnership project (3GPP). It is appreciated that reducing air interface latency may significantly increase throughput or user perceived throughput for protocols, such as the file transfer protocol (FTP) protocol in mobile broadband applications. Moreover, latency requirements for 5th generation (5G) systems are very stringent for a new emerging class of traffic, known as mission critical machine type communications, which include use cases such as industrial automation or vehicular communications.
