Abstract
Apparatuses (including user equipment (UE) and modern chips for UEs), systems, and methods for UE downlink Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) buffer memory management are described. In one method, the entire UE DL HARQ buffer memory space is pre-partitioned according to the number and capacities of the UE's active carrier components. In another method, the UE DL HARQ buffer is split between on-chip and off-chip memory so that each partition and sub-partition is allocated between the on-chip and off-chip memories in accordance with an optimum ratio.
