Configuring HARQ

Introduction

The HARQ function implemented in the E6651A operates at the PHY layer between the BS and SS. To enable HARQ in the uplink, downlink, or both, use the BS Emulator, Settings, BSE Setting menu to configure the settings. HARQ will be used during DL Ping, DL UDP and End-to-End testing.

 

You must also enable HARQ negotiation in the BS Emulator, Settings, BSE Setting menu.
