Abstract
There is provided mechanisms for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) transmission of a transport block from a network node to a wireless device. A method is performed by the network node. The method comprises detecting a HARQ failure upon having transmitted the transport block to the wireless device, wherein the transport block has been transmitted using a HARQ process. The method comprises transmitting data of the transport block to the wireless device using two mutually different HARQ processes as a result of having detected the HARQ failure. There is also provided a network node configured to perform such a method.
