Why Bundling?
TTI Bundling optimizes the uplink (cell edge) coverage for services like VoLTE. For
services such as VoIP, the packet size is small and the inter-arrival time of VoIP
packets is constant (i.e., AMR codec provides one packet every 20ms during active
period and one silence indicator (SID) at 160ms). In a cell edge scenario, the
probability of decoding PUSCH as error is more so instead of waiting for HARQ
feedback from eNB, the UE performs initial transmission and re-transmissions in 4
consecutive Transmit Time Intervals (TTIs)
Once TTI Bundling is enabled/activated the UE send the same packet but with
different error detection and correction bits in 4 consecutive TTIs
TTI Bundling reduces a lot of signalling overhead as the eNB doesn’t need to send
Ack/Nack for every (re-) transmission instead it sends Ack/Nack for the entire
bundle
The simulation results indicated that TTI bundling provides a cell edge gain of
more than 4 dB in terms of the sustainable path loss
Bundle re-Transmission
For DCI0 and/or Nack detected in subframe n-9, the UE shall adjust the first PUSCH
transmission in n and non-adaptive retransmissions in n+1, n+2, and n+3 with
corresponding Redundancy Versions set as 0, 2, 3, and 1
UE shall expect Ack/Nack in subframe n+7

Why HARQ ACK/NACK happens in 4ms and re-transmission happens in 8ms ???
What happens during that 4ms of ACK/NACK ???
What happens during that 8ms of re-transmission ???

How many max ulharq transmissions can we have during ttib?. I thuth above process
represents ulharq process during ttib.
