Abstract: A technique for storing softbits of messages received according to a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) protocol is disclosed. As to a method aspect of the technique, a first storage (102) and a second storage (104) are provided. The first storage and a second storage include a plurality of memory segments (103) allocatable to HARQ processes. A first message related to a first HARQ process is received.

The first segment is allocated to the first HARQ process. The first storage is accessible by a channel decoding unit (110) for decoding the channel code. If a number of allocated segments in the first storage, the decoding of which has not been yet completed, exceeds a threshold, the allocation for the first HARQ process is changed from the first segment in the first storage to a second segment in the second storage.
