Patent ID: 10505617

Abstract:
A first radio node (200), a second radio node (202) and methods therein, for transmitting and receiving a data block in a radio network. The first radio node (200) selects (2:1) at least one of: 1) time diversity mode, 2) frequency diversity mode, and 3) spatial diversity mode, based on a first comparison between an estimated signal quality of each diversity mode and a quality threshold, and/or a second comparison between an estimated round trip time of each diversity mode and a round trip time threshold. The first radio node (200) further performs (2:2) a first transmission of the data block, and the second radio node (202) identifies (2:3) the diversity mode(s) selected by the first radio node (200). The first radio node (200) then performs (308) a second transmission of the data block according to the selected diversity mode(s) so that the second radio node (202) can decode (2:5) the data block by combining the first and second transmissions of the data block.
