Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods of transmitting and receiving transmission feedback in a radio network node. More particularly the disclosure pertains to transmitting and receiving messages acknowledging reception and successful decoding of a transport block in a radio network node. The disclosure also relates to a wireless device providing transmission feedback and to a radio network node receiving the transmission feedback. The disclosure proposes a method, performed in a radio network node, of receiving transmission feedback. The method comprises transmitting, using a set of transmission properties, a transport block to a receiving wireless device and receiving, from the receiving wireless device, an acknowledgement (ACK) confirming reception and successful decoding of the transport block in the receiving wireless device, wherein the ACK defines a decoding margin of the decoding. The disclosure also proposes a corresponding method in a wireless device and corresponding devices as well as a corresponding computer program.
