MODEM CHIP FOR PERFORMING HYBRID AUTOMATIC REPEAT REQUEST PROCESSING, APPLICATION PROCESSOR INCLUDING THE MODEM CHIP, AND OPERATING METHOD OF THE MODEM CHIP

摘要

Provided are a modem chip for performing hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processing, an application processor including the modem chip, and an operating method of the modem chip. A modem chip for receiving data of a codeword unit including a plurality of codeblock units includes a HARQ controller for controlling HARQ data of the codeword unit to be saved in an external memory based on an error detection result of the codeword unit, a HARQ mover for saving or fetching the HARQ data of the codeword unit in or from the external memory via a bus interface, and a HARQ combiner for combining retransmitted data with the HARQ data fetched from the external memory.
