Method and appatus for combining hibrid automatic repeat request data in a wireless communication system

The present invention increase the HARQ scheme relates to a reception method and apparatus for (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest, hereinafter referred to as 'HARQ') to couple the data, HARQ and the efficient use of a limited size memory coupled performance in a communication system It relates to a method and apparatus for. The present invention whether or not to combine the HARQ scheme data, the processing and the received HARQ data to convert the procedure, and the HARQ data received from the transmitting end to estimate the maximum amount of data that are currently received by the LLR information is retransmission data the determination process and, if it is determined that not the HARQ data is retransmitted data, in accordance with the process in response to the predicted maximum data size determining compression whether or not the converted LLR information with, and whether the compression the conversion of It includes the step of storing the LLR information in the memory. HARQ scheme, HARQ, HARQ combiner, a memory, a log-likelihood ratio, LLR bit length
