The present application has proposed the coordinated transmission system for the HARQ process to again a high SINR gain using the reception device for performing the SIC process.
The present application realizes the SIC process more easily by using the unique behavior of the HARQ constantly indicating a low BLER after the combination of HARQs.
To attain high SINR gain by the SIC process, it is preferable that a retransmission data packet is eventually delivered on the link constantly from the serving eNB to the UE and a new data packet is delivered on the link from the coordinated eNB to the UE during the delivery. However, it is obvious that an inverse process can be used.
Relating to a control channel, three channels, that is, a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), and a X2 control channel (X2CCH), are regarded by considering the feasibility and the facility. The design of the control channels can exceedingly reduce the amount of control channel, and considerably shorten the system latency.
The above-mentioned coordinated transmission system can also be applied to an intra-eNode-B in which a coordinated transmission occurs between two transmission points in the same eNode-B.
