Abstract  Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that an active set may include a plurality of Node-Bs and until normal transmission is achieved by at least one Node-B retransmission is performed but since the normal transmission is not guaranteed for all the Node-Bs normal transmission permutation can not be achieved.

SOLUTION: A method and apparatus for processing data blocks during soft handover is disclosed. The apparatus may be a wireless communication system including at least two enhanced uplink soft handover (EU-SHO) Node-Bs and a radio network controller (RNC). Each Node-B decodes a received data block and forwards the decoded data block to the RNC. If the RNC receives at least one copy of a successfully decoded data block the RNC uses a re-ordering function entity to process the copy of the successfully decoded data block to support in-sequence delivery to higher protocol layers.
