Abstract

A Radio Network Node (RNN) and a method therein for providing improved robustness of a radio link between the RNN and a wireless device. The RNN and the wireless device operate in a communications network. The RNN transmits, towards the wireless device, a transmission with a first transmission mode associated with a first level of coverage extension. When a first period of time has elapsed, the RNN transmits, towards the wireless device, the transmission using a second transmission mode associated with a second level of coverage extension. The second level of coverage extension is higher than the first level of coverage extension.
