Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication networks, the existing HARQ and ARQ processes introduce delays and low throughput due to inefficient data retransmission mechanisms, especially in scenarios with limited uplink power, leading to unsuccessful ARQ feedback and detrimental downlink data transmission.

Innovation Solution

A method for enhanced data retransmission in wireless communication networks involves generating and transmitting data packets based on indicators and configurations, using HARQ feedback to determine the need for retransmission, and optimizing UL resource allocation and MCS orders for efficient data packet generation and retransmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional HARQ and ARQ processes are used for data retransmission, then data transmission robustness is improved, but transmission delays increase and throughput decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission robustnessVSAvoidtransmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-generating and buffering multiple candidate data packets at the transmitting end before retransmission is needed. When a retransmission is triggered, the pre-prepared packets can be immediately sent without waiting for generation or processing, thus reducing delay while maintaining reliability through the availability of multiple candidate packets.
