Patent ID: 8516325

Claim:
A method of communication in a wireless communication system between a sending node and a receiving node, wherein the method comprises: receiving at a receiving node a first coded message block comprising a plurality of parts distributed over a plurality of components; detecting a decoding error associated with decoding the received first coded message block; in response to detecting the decoding error, identifying a part of the first coded message block that has probably contributed to the decoding error and a component associated with said part; feeding back to the sending node feedback information indicating that the first coded message block could not be correctly decoded, wherein the feedback information includes a suggested retransmission setting, and wherein the suggested retransmission setting comprises one or a combination of: a component selection setting, a link adaptation setting, a power control setting, and a scheduling setting; and receiving, at the receiving node, a second coded message block that includes selected parts of the first coded message block retransmitted by the sending node using retransmission settings based, at least in part, on the suggested retransmission setting.
