Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for performing a hybrid automatic repeat request process for an uplink multi-codeword transmission in a wireless communication system which supports a multi-antenna transmission. The uplink multi-codeword transmission method according to one embodiment comprises the following steps: transmitting first and second codewords, transmitting information on the status of transmission buffer for the first and second codewords, receiving downlink control information (DCI) containing acknowledgement (ACK)/negative acknowledgement (NACK) information on each of the first and second codewords, and re-transmitting the codeword for NACK information, wherein the codeword for NACK information, wherein the codeword for ACK information is not transmitted to a base station in cases where the transmission buffer is empty.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of performing uplink multiple-codeword hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) transmission, the method comprising: transmitting, at a user equipment, first and second codewords to a base station; transmitting information about transmission buffer states of the first and second codewords to the base station; receiving downlink control information (DCI) including acknowledgement (ACK)/negative acknowledgement (NACK) information for each of t…
