Method for a base station engaging in transmissions via at least a media access layer with a user entity; wherein - the base station is being adapted for transmitting data to the user entity over a high speed scheduling channel (HS-SCCH) and a high speed packet data scheduling channel (HS-DPCCH); the base station having a plurality of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) entities (55, 56) cooperating with a scheduler being adapted for transmitting frames from at least the base station to the user entity for a given hybrid automatic repeat request process, each hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) entity being adapted for receiving either a not acknowledge signal (NACK) or an acknowledge signal or detecting a discontinuous transmission, that is, absence of feedback indicating a possible reception failure, for a given hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process, the base station being adapted for transmitting a next data indicator to the user entity; the method comprising the steps of - for a scheduling instruction of new data or scheduling of new download data (0; 108), if the outcome from previous media access transmission or transmissions is detected as a discontinuous transmission setting the next data indicator for the new data to be transmitted to the value previously used, - otherwise, that is, if the outcome from previous media access transmission or transmissions is not detected as a discontinuous transmission, toggling the next data indicator value for the new data to be transmitted; - transmitting data for the given hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process; the method further comprising the step of - when re-transmitting download data, not toggling the next data indicator value. - the base station is being adapted for transmitting data to the user entity over a high speed scheduling channel (HS-SCCH) and a high speed packet data scheduling channel (HS-DPCCH); the base station having a plurality of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) entities (55, 56) cooperating with a scheduler being adapted for transmitting frames from at least the base station to the user entity for a given hybrid automatic repeat request process, each hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) entity being adapted for receiving either a not acknowledge signal (NACK) or an acknowledge signal or detecting a discontinuous transmission, that is, absence of feedback indicating a possible reception failure, for a given hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process, the base station being adapted for transmitting a next data indicator to the user entity; the method comprising the steps of - for a scheduling instruction of new data or scheduling of new download data (0; 108), if the outcome from previous media access transmission or transmissions is detected as a discontinuous transmission setting the next data indicator for the new data to be transmitted to the value previously used, - otherwise, that is, if the outcome from previous media access transmission or transmissions is not detected as a discontinuous transmission, toggling the next data indicator value for the new data to be transmitted; - transmitting data for the given hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process; the method further comprising the step of - when re-transmitting download data, not toggling the next data indicator value.
