Abstract
A method and a base station (900) for controlling wireless communication of data on a first radio link between the base station and a User Equipment, UE (902), when a first communication Mode is employed implying that corresponding status reports should be transmitted on an opposite second radio link to indicate whether said data has been received or not. A communication unit (900a) communicates data and status reports with the UE according to the first communication Mode and according to a second communication Mode. When an indication of potential congestion pertaining to the second radio link is detected, a logic unit (900b) instruct the communication unit to trigger or initiate a change to a second communication Mode implying that no transmission of status reports on the second radio link is expected. Thereby, any unnecessary re-transmissions of data due to missing status reports may be avoided.
