Abstract
Methods and systems for decoding a data packet using soft-bit retransmission combining are provided herein. A first transmission of the data packet is received and corresponding soft information is generated. The soft information is represented by a first set of bits and a subset of those bits is stored. Subsequently, a second transmission of the data packet is received and corresponding soft information is generated. The soft information corresponding to the second transmission is represented by a second set of bits and combined with the stored subset of soft-bits corresponding to the first transmission to produce a third set of bits. At least a portion of the data packet is decoded based on the third set of bits.
