Abstract

The invention provides a method for hierarchy management for a HARQ memory, wherein, the HARQ memory includes an on-chip memory including one or more storage blocks, each of which corresponds to a using status bit for indicating whether the storage block is overlayable. The method includes the following steps of: when receiving new data of a coded block, searching the on-chip memory for any overlayable storage block, and if there exists an overlayable storage block, storing the new data into the storage block and setting the using status bit corresponding to the storage block to be un-overlayable; if there is no overlayable storage block, storing the new data into an off-chip memory; and when the new data are checked and pass the check, setting the using status bit corresponding to the storage block in which the new data are stored to be overlayable. The invention also provides a corresponding system.
