4. Extensions to <strong>the</strong> L2S Modeleach <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> TB rv idx are extracted.Given D original data bits, <strong>the</strong> rate matching process outputs a TB <strong>of</strong> size G bits,where G > D. After <strong>the</strong> rate 1/3 turbo code, <strong>the</strong> bits are placed on a circular buffer,with <strong>the</strong> systematic bits being placed consecutively <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> parity bits interleavedone-to-one, as depicted in Figure 4.1.... ......: starting pointsystematic bits (v (0) )...1st parity bits (v (1) )2nd parity bits (v (2) )Figure 4.1: Positioning <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> turbo-encoded bits (both systematic <strong>and</strong> parity) in <strong>the</strong> ratematching circular buffer. The output bits are obtained by setting a startingpoint k 0 <strong>and</strong> extracting G bits. The systematic bits are placed consecutively in<strong>the</strong> buffer, while <strong>the</strong> parity bits are interleaved.In order to generate different TB versions for different values <strong>of</strong> rv idx , a differentstarting point k 0 , based on <strong>the</strong> value <strong>of</strong> rv idx , is calculated for each retransmission.Two modes <strong>of</strong> HARQ exist, which are depicted in Figure 4.2: in Chase Combining(CC) [108] (named after David Chase, its inventor), each retransmission is identicalto <strong>the</strong> original transmission, while in Incremental Redundancy (IR) each retransmissionconsists <strong>of</strong> new redundancy bits from <strong>the</strong> channel encoder. With <strong>the</strong>aforementioned circular buffer setup, <strong>and</strong> assuming k 0 advances exactly D/3 positionsfor each retransmission, full IR is only possible if G < rv max+1 · D.In both cases, <strong>the</strong> received retransmissions are combined <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> resulting packet isjointly decoded. <strong>LTE</strong> HARQ applies a hybrid CC/IR approach, in which a mixture<strong>of</strong> repeated <strong>and</strong> new bits are sent during <strong>the</strong> retransmissions, corresponding to <strong>the</strong>right figure in Figure 4.2.original code blockequalretransmissionscombined bits punctured bitsreconstructed code block (chase combining)original code blockdifferentversionscombined bitsreconstructed code block (<strong>LTE</strong> incremental redundancy)Figure 4.2: Chase combining (left) <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> partial incremental redundancy (combining CCbits <strong>and</strong> IR bits) employed in <strong>LTE</strong> HARQ (right).52
