Abstract:
1. A method comprising: determining a temporal alignment of values for a retransmission number parameter with a time division multiple access frame structure by checking a mapping between time division multiple access frame numbers and values of the retransmission number parameter, said retransmission number parameter used for encoding data in a radio packet, transmitting in a number of first time division multiple access frames a first radio packet comprising a transport block of signaling information encoded by utilizing a first retransmission number parameter value obtained on the basis of the temporal alignment value, and transmitting in a number of second time division multiple access frames, said second time division multiple access frames differing from said first time division multiple access frames, at least a second radio packet comprising a transport block of signaling information encoded by utilizing a second retransmission number parameter value obtained on the basis of the temporal alignment value.
