Claim:
1. A method of operation of a base station in a cellular communications network, the method comprising: obtaining a first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement for data transmitted between the base station and a mobile terminal in a radio signal and a second hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement for data transmitted between the base station and the mobile terminal in the radio signal; updating a first link adaptation parameter used to control a modulation and coding scheme for transmission of data in the radio signal for one or more subframes in a frame structure of the radio signal based on the first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement, the one or more subframes being a subset of a plurality of subframes in the frame structure of the radio signal; and updating a second link adaptation parameter used to control a modulation and coding scheme for transmission of data between the base station and the mobile terminal in the radio signal for one or more different subframes in the frame structure of the radio signal based on the second hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement, the one or more different subframes being a second subset of the plurality of subframes in the frame structure of the radio signal.
