Abstract
A device (110) receives consecutive negative acknowledgments (NACKs) (540), measures a downlink channel quality (530) associated with the device (110), and triggers autonomous retransmission (430) when power is limited in the device (110), when the device (110) is using a minimum usable enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) transport format combination (ETFC), and when one of a number of consecutive NACKs (540) is greater than a predefined number, or the measured downlink channel quality (530) is less than a predefined threshold.

21. A method in a radio network that includes a device, the method comprising:
-
measuring, via the device, a parameter associated with at least two antenna ports of the device; comparing, via the device, the measured parameter with an expected parameter associated with the at least two antenna ports to determine an error; comparing, via the device, the determined error to a threshold; and determining, via the device; an erroneous antenna port connection for the at least two antenna ports when the error exceeds the threshold, and a correct antenna port connection for the at least two antenna ports when the error is less than or equal to the threshold. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A device in a radio network, the device comprising:
-
at least two antenna ports; a memory to store a plurality of instructions; and a processing unit to execute instructions in the memory to; measure a parameter associated with the at least two antenna ports, compare the measured parameter with an expected parameter associated with the at least two antenna ports to determine an error, compare the determined error to a threshold, and determine; an erroneous antenna port connection for the at least two antenna ports when the error exceeds the threshold, and a correct antenna port connection for the at least two antenna ports when the error is less than or equal to the threshold. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
