Coordinated Base Station Error Correction via Soft-Combined HARQ

The patent combines error correction processes across multiple coordinated base stations by implementing joint encoding where a first base station encodes a first code block and a second base station encodes a second code block, with both code blocks being soft-combined at the receiver. This merging of encoding operations allows the base stations to operate cooperatively rather than independently, reducing the transmit power required while maintaining autonomous operation capabilities.

The patent merges error correction operations across multiple base stations through joint encoding and soft-combining, where the receiver combines code blocks from multiple base stations to improve decoding efficiency. This coordinated approach reduces latency compared to independent error correction processes while preserving autonomous operation capabilities.

The patent segments the error correction process into separate encoding operations at different base stations, where each base station independently encodes its own code block. This segmentation allows coordinated error correction to reduce transmit power while minimizing interference, as each base station operates semi-independently rather than requiring full coordination that would increase interference.

The patent segments the coordinated error correction system into independent encoding modules at each base station, where the first base station performs first encoding on a first code block and the second base station performs second encoding on a second code block. This segmentation enhances spectral efficiency through coordination while managing device complexity by maintaining modular, semi-independent operation at each base station.
