A method of
data transmission between a
base station and a
user equipment. The method comprises, for the
base station: receiving, at the
base station, data to be transmitted to the
user equipment; transmitting the data to the
user equipment; receiving a
signal indicative of
early prediction feedback from the user equipment. Based on the
signal indicative of
early prediction feedback, if the signalindicative of
early prediction indicates DTX, retransmitting the data to the user equipment repeating the method from the step of receiving a
signal indicative of early prediction feedback. If the signal indicative of early prediction indicates
NAK, determining, whether a sufficient latency budget is available decided. If the budget is available, continuing the method at the step of receiving anHARQ feedback. If the budget is not available, retransmitting the data to the user equipment and repeating the method from the step of receiving a signal indicative of early prediction feedback. The method further comprises receiving an HARQ feedback and, if the HARQ feedback indicates
NAK, retransmitting the data to the user equipment and repeating the method from the step of receiving a signal indicative of early prediction feedback. The method comprises, for the user equipment: receiving data from the base
station; estimating an error probability based on at least a portion of the receiveddata; generating a signal indicative of early feedback based on the estimated error probability; and sending the signal indicative of early prediction feedback to the base
station. A base
station anda user equipment configured to perform the respective methods are also disclosed.
