Abstract
A method and apparatus for supporting multi transport block grant (MTBG) data transmission in a wireless communication system, such as an LTE system. The method includes increasing the number of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes in a HARQ cycle to greater than 8, where the HARQ processes are divided into two or more HARQ process groups. The method further includes specifying a delay indicative of time between the MTBG and commence of the data transmission and another delay indicative of time between the data transmission and acknowledgement (ACK).
