Abstract
A system and method for incremental redundancy transmission in a communication system. A time slot is provided having at least one sub-slot with a fixed size, and a data block sized to fit in the sub-slot, a header having a one data block sequence number in the header for the time slot. A parity block is sized smaller than the data block such that the parity block and the data block sequence number fit within the sub-slot. The data block and parity block are transmitted in the sub-slot within the time slot. In the header for the time slot the number of data blocks and parity blocks transmitted are identified.
