  • the procedure of Figure 22B is similar to the procedure of Figure 22A. The difference lies in that the reason of triggering the terminal to transmit an updated resource allocation request is the channel state information, and while transmitting the request, the terminal 120 needs to feed back the channel state information to the network side to assist the network side in making a decision.
  • the basis for dividing resources into groups is that the two groups of resources should be different, and then the adjacent resource groups are mapped and the network side can be aware of whether the data is initially-transmitted data or data retransmitted for which time and the RV number, merely by distinguishing which group the used resources belong to.
  • the basis for dividing resources into groups depends upon the property of the resources to be grouped, for example, there are few DMRS resources, however, the accurate channel measurement is advantageous to the detection and decoding on the network side or the length of the DMRS resources is larger, and the channel estimation is more accurate.

  • the terminals when the terminals select the same resources for initial transmission, due to mapping, especially one-to-one mapping, the terminals will still use the same resources for retransmission, causing collision thereby may lead to decoding failure. Therefore, in the forgoing embodiments, the terminal employs the random backoff mechanism by which the terminal will transmit the retransmitted data after a period of time of random backoff. In this way, even if the terminals use the same resources, the data from the terminals will not conflict because the time to transmit the data is stagger. In this embodiment, several other ways of reducing the retransmission conflict probability will be described.
  • random backoff for retransmission may be performed. This has been described in the foregoing embodiments and will not be repeated here.
  • the terminal can completely randomly select a backoff time from a backoff time resource pool configured by the network side in advance.

  • a mechanism of backoff at fixed time can be used. That is, after the terminals access to the network, the network side allocates a same retransmission backoff time T backoff to all terminals while informing the terminals of the grouped resources. It means that all users, who need to transmit retransmitted data, transmit the retransmitted data after a same fixed time from the initial transmission. In this mode, in a case where two terminals select same resources for initial transmission and transmit the initially-transmitted data at different moments, if the data from the two terminals is not correctly decoded and the two terminals receive a retransmission indication, the two terminals will transmit the retransmitted data at different points in time because of the fixed backoff time. Accordingly, conflict is avoided.

  • DMRS B2 and MA B2 are allocated to the terminal B for first retransmission
  • DMRS Bm and MA Bm are allocated to the terminal B for the m th retransmission.
