Abstract
A method, system and device are provided for partitioning a HARQ soft bit buffer between aggregated carriers as a function of carrier-related weighting factors so that the total number of soft buffer bits are efficiently allocated to obtain a plurality of soft buffer partitions for the plurality of aggregated carriers which are sized based on relative carrier-related weighting factors.
