Abstract

A method for handling a Transmission Time Interval (TTI) bundling mode in a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method includes steps of switching an operation status of the TTI bundling mode; and flushing all uplink Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) buffers in the UE when the operation status of the TTI bundling mode is switched.

Claims (15)

1. A method for handling a Transmission Time Interval (TTI) bundling mode in a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

switching an operation status of the TTI bundling mode; and

flushing all uplink Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) buffers in the UE when the operation status of the TTI bundling mode is switched.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the operation status of the TTI bundling mode is switched according to upper layer signaling.

3. The method of claim 1 , where the step of switching the operation status of the TTI bundling mode comprises activating the TTI bundling mode.

4. The method of claim 1 , where the step of switching the operation status of the TTI bundling mode comprises deactivating the TTI bundling mode.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a single transport block is coded and transmitted at a plurality of consecutive TTIs within the said TTI bundling mode.

6. A communication device for handling a Transmission Time Interval (TTI) bundling mode in a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system, the communication device comprising:

a processor for executing a program; and a memory coupled to the processor for storing the program; wherein the program comprises:

switching an operation status of the TTI bundling mode; and

flushing all uplink Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) buffers in the UE when the operation status of the TTI bundling mode is switched.

7. The communication device of claim 6 , wherein the operation status of the TTI bundling mode is switched according to upper layer signaling.

8. The communication device of claim 6 , where the step of switching the operation status of the TTI bundling mode comprises activating the TTI bundling mode.

9. The communication device of claim 6 , where the step of switching the operation status of the TTI bundling mode comprises deactivating the TTI bundling mode.

10. The communication device of claim 6 , wherein a single transport block is coded and transmitted at a plurality of consecutive TTIs within the said TTI bundling mode.
