Abstract  Abstract

A method of adapting resource allocation parameters to reach one or more quality targets with improved accuracy is proposed. New information measurements based on the so-called mutual information preferably at block-level are introduced. The MI-based information measurements of a previous transmission the channel prediction of a subsequent transmission and one or more quality requirements are used to determine the amount and type of resources e.g. time frequency and power resources that are to be used for the subsequent transmission. The resource allocation can for example comprise power allocation and/or link adaptation and the invention enables an advantageous implementation with cooperative link-adaptation and power allocation. The proposed method is useful in connection with ARQ/HARQ retransmissions.
