Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An Acknowledgement-Negative Acknowledgement (ACK-NACK) feedback message transmitted from a receiving device to a source device indicates which code words within a transport block transmitted from the source device to the receiving device were received in error by the receiving device. The ACK-NACK message has a variable format based on the number of code words in the transport block and the number of code words received in error.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus, comprising: a receiver configured to receive an inbound RF signal from a source device, the inbound RF signal including a plurality of code words forming a transport block; a processing module configured to determine whether any of the code words within the transport block were received in error and generating an Acknowledgement-Negative Acknowledgement (ACK-NACK) message in response thereto, wherein when one or more of the code words were re…
