Codeword to layer mapping in a system implementing harq

In a transmitter or transceiver, the codewords of the HARQ processes can be mapped or assigned to various layers for the transmission and/or retransmission of information on a radio channel. Exemplary embodiments provide various mappings that facilitate, for example, HARQ processes. For example, a code word can be mapped into a plurality of layers that are equal in number to a channel range of a radio channel to be used for transmission. </p> <p>(Automatic translation with Google Translate, without legal value)
