Abstract
An apparatus and method for Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) signaling in a broadband wireless communication system are provided. A communication method of a Base Station (BS) includes transmitting a Fixed Allocation (FA) message containing bitmap index information for all Mobile Stations (MSs) allocated with fixed resources; and transmitting bitmap information indicating whether packets to be transmitted to the MSs are Retransmission (Rtx) packets or new packets. Accordingly, when HARQ is carried out using a fixed resource allocation scheme, a bitmap is used to indicate whether HARQ packets transmitted in a current frame are new packets or Rtx packets. Therefore, a receiving end can be prevented from incorrectly decoding the packets.
