    Abstract: A transmitting device for supporting Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) includes scrambling and encoding, in which the order of scrambling and encoding is changed compared to the conventional transmitter. Likewise, a receiving device for supporting HARQ includes descrambling and decoding, in which the order of descrambling and decoding is changed compared to the conventional receiver. In particular, the transmitting device is configured to encode at least one data unit using Forward Error Correction (FEC) coding, scramble the encoded data unit based on a scrambling seed, provide an indication of the scrambling seed that is separate from the scrambled and encoded data unit, and transmit the indication of the scrambling seed and then the scrambled and encoded data unit to the receiving device.

    Abstract: A communication transmitter retransmits a Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data unit (MPDU) to a communication receiver over a communication channel using a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) retransmission scheme. The MPDU includes a plurality of information bits. The communication transmitter includes a processor configured to determine the MPDU to be retransmitted based on a Block ACK frame received from the communication receiver, the Block ACK frame indicating previously correctly decoded MPDUs at the communication receiver, and to generate a bit sequence to be transmitted to the communication receiver, wherein the bit sequence comprises the plurality of information bits. The communication transmitter further comprises a communication interface configured to transmit the bit sequence to the communication receiver for retransmitting the MPDU to the communication receiver.
