Functions of MAC sublayer

o Mapping between logical channels and transport channels.


o Multiplexing of MAC SDUs from one or different logical channels onto transport blocks (TB) to be delivered to
the physical layer on transport channels.
o Demultiplexing of MAC SDUs from one or different logical channels from transport blocks (TB) delivered from
the physical layer on transport channels.
o Scheduling information reporting.
o Error correction through HARQ.
o Priority handling between UEs by means of dynamic scheduling.
o Priority handling between logical channels of one UE.
o Logical Channel prioritisation.
o Transport format selection.

Automatic Repeat Request(ARQ)

o In ARQ, when we have a 'bad' package, the system simply discards it, and asks for a
retransmission (of the same package). And for this, it sends a feedback message to the
transmitter.
oThese feedback messages are messages that the receiver uses to inform whether the
transmission was successful or not: 'ACKnowledgement' (ACK) and 'Non-ACKnowledgement'
(NACK).
o Every time a packet that arrives is bad, it is discarded, and it is requested that this same
package be retransmitted.

14
Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request(HARQ)

o The HARQ is the use of conventional ARQ along with an Error Correction technique called 'Soft
Combining', which no longer discards the received bad data (with error)
o With the 'Soft Combining' data packets that are not properly decoded are not discarded
anymore. The received signal is stored in a 'buffer', and will be combined with next
retransmission.
