Abstract

The present invention provides a method and system for transmitting LTE control information for Category M User Equipment (UE). According to embodiments, there is provided a method and system for LTE downlink control information for HD-FDD UE using multiple HARQ processes in a low Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR).

Claims (48)

1. A method for facilitating time diversity of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, the method comprising:

transmitting, by an evolved Node B (eNB) one or more downlink control information (DCI) messages indicative of multiple HARQ processes; and

transmitting, by the eNB, the HARQ processes, wherein transmitting of the HARQ processes includes interleaving the HARQ processes based on the one or more DCI messages, wherein the sequence of transmission of the DCI messages is indicative of the sequence of the transmission of the HARQ processes, wherein a first HARQ process completes before a second HARQ process and wherein one or more new HARQ processes are started upon completion of the second HARQ process.

2. A method for facilitating time diversity of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, the method comprising:

transmitting, by an evolved Node B (eNB) one or more downlink control information (DCI) messages indicative of multiple HARQ processes; and

transmitting, by the eNB, the HARQ processes, wherein transmitting of the HARQ processes includes interleaving the HARQ processes based on the one or more DCI messages, wherein the sequence of transmission of the DCI messages is indicative of the sequence of the transmission of the HARQ processes, wherein a first HARQ process completes before a second HARQ process and wherein a new DCI message is transmitted upon completion of the first HARQ process, the new DCI message indicative of a new HARQ process to be transmitted.

3. A method for facilitating time diversity of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, the method comprising:

transmitting, by an evolved Node B (eNB) one or more downlink control information (DCI) messages indicative of multiple HARQ processes; and

transmitting, by the eNB, the HARQ processes, wherein transmitting of the HARQ processes includes interleaving the HARQ processes based on the one or more DCI messages, wherein a single DCI message is indicative of a sequence for transmission of the HARQ processes, wherein a first HARQ process completes before a second HARQ process and wherein one or more new HARQ processes are started upon completion of the second HARQ process.

4. A method for facilitating time diversity of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, the method comprising:

transmitting, by an evolved Node B (eNB) one or more downlink control information (DCI) messages indicative of multiple HARQ processes; and

transmitting, by the eNB, the HARQ processes, wherein transmitting of the HARQ processes includes interleaving the HARQ processes based on the one or more DCI messages, wherein a single DCI message is indicative of a sequence for transmission of the HARQ processes, wherein a first HARQ process completes before a second HARQ process and wherein a new DCI message is transmitted upon completion of the first HARQ process, the new DCI message indicative of a new HARQ process to be transmitted.

5. A method for facilitating time diversity of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, the method comprising:

transmitting, by an evolved Node B (eNB) one or more downlink control information (DCI) messages indicative of multiple HARQ processes; and

transmitting, by the eNB, the HARQ processes, wherein transmitting of the HARQ processes includes interleaving the HARQ processes based on the one or more DCI messages, wherein the sequence of transmission of the DCI messages is indicative of the sequence of the transmission of one or more repetitions of the HARQ processes, wherein a first HARQ process completes before a second HARQ process and wherein one or more new HARQ processes are started upon completion of the second HARQ process.

6. A method for facilitating time diversity of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, the method comprising:

transmitting, by an evolved Node B (eNB) one or more downlink control information (DCI) messages indicative of multiple HARQ processes; and

transmitting, by the eNB, the HARQ processes, wherein transmitting of the HARQ processes includes interleaving the HARQ processes based on the one or more DCI messages, wherein the sequence of transmission of the DCI messages is indicative of the sequence of the transmission of one or more repetitions of the HARQ processes, wherein a first HARQ process completes before a second HARQ process and wherein a new DCI message is transmitted upon completion of the first HARQ process, the new DCI message indicative of a new HARQ process to be transmitted.

7. An evolved Node B (eNB) comprising:

a processor; and

machine readable memory storing machine executable instructions which when executed by the processor configure the eNB to:

transmit one or more downlink control information (DCI) messages indicative of multiple hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes; and

transmit the HARQ processes, wherein transmission of the HARQ processes includes interleaving the HARQ processes based on the one or more DCI messages, wherein the sequence of transmission of the DCI messages is indicative of the sequence of the transmission of the HARQ processes, wherein a first HARQ process completes before a second HARQ process and wherein one or more new HARQ processes are started upon completion of the second HARQ process.
