Methods and Arrangements for Supporting Retransmission
First Claim
1. Method performed by a network node A for supporting retransmission in a wireless communication system comprising a user equipment, UE, which is scheduled, by a base station, BS, C, for communication in a radio resource R, said method comprising:
- receiving information on scheduling decisions associated with the radio resource R from at least one BS;
estimating the interference to the communication of the UE in radio resource R based on said information;
predicting whether a retransmission of the UE communication is required, based on the estimated interference and a predetermined criterion.

Abstract
The herein suggested technology gives principles for how HARQ-feedback, or corresponding, can be predicted using distributed data from scheduling decisions and optionally also from radio measurements. This data can be sent between base stations after the finished scheduling, and does not require a backhaul with very low latency. The predicted HARQ feedback can then be used for scheduling a retransmission or new transmission sooner than the actual HARQ feedback is received.
