LINK ADAPTATION FOR RE-TRANSMISSION OF A TRANSPORT BLOCK BASED ON A TARGET BLOCK ERROR PROBABILITY (BLEP)
The present disclosure provides a method in a network node. The method includes: obtaining an accumulated number of transmitted bits from previous transmissions of a transport block and quality measures for the previous transmissions of the transport block.
