Abstract
A method of handling a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process for semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) in a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method includes steps of configuring an SPS functionality which utilizes at least one HARQ process; receiving a first new data indicator (NDI) addressed to an SPS cell radio network temporary identifier (SPS C-RNTI) of the UE for a first HARQ process of the at least one HARQ process; and considering the next transmission to be received by the first HARQ Process as a first transmission of the first HARQ Process when receiving a second NDI addressed to a C-RNTI of the UE for the first HARQ process.
