Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and arrangements in a multi-antenna radio communication system, in particular to methods and arrangements for improved multiple HARQ transmission in such systems. While HARQ transmission schemes, as known in the art, only can consider the fact whether or not a transmission attempt has been successful the present invention provides a HARQ retransmission scheme that considers the reception quality for already performed transmissions of a same data packet when selecting a resource allocation for necessary re-transmissions. Resource allocation for retransmissions is based on a pre-defined metric indicating a quality of the reception of the previous transmission attempts. Such a metric can be derived from a quality measure derived in the receiver unit, e.g. a CQI or CSI-based value, or an appropriate measure of the mutual information, e.g. the accumulated conditional mutual information (ACMI).

One or more indications of the interference distribution may be received and used to make the determination. The indication(s) of interference distribution can take the form of information received from the wireless terminal, and/or the form of frequency reuse plan information for interfering cells.
