Abstract

The present invention relates to method and apparatus for operation of a terminal based on Relative Grant of a non-serving based station, the method comprising the terminal performing corresponding processes based on the received relative scheduling grant RGN from the non-serving base station and according to associated parameters configured by Serving Radio Network Controller (SRNC). A first one of the corresponding processes is the relative scheduling grant RGN being applied to subsequent HARQ processes until a new relative scheduling grant RGN is received for an initial transmission; for retransmission determining the amount of resources used for retransmission by integratedly considering power of the initial transmission of the packet to be retransmitted and the grant RGN in combination with idea of reducing power. A second one of the corresponding processes is that effects of RGN on subsequent HARQ processes is based on whether a new RGN=DOWN is received for a subsequent HARQ process. A third one of the corresponding processes is that effects of RGN=DOWN on subsequent HARQ processes is reflected on one-off adjusting the maximum amount of available resources for all subsequent …
