Abstract
According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus including a memory configured to store received information, and at least one processing core configured to determine a quality level at which the received information was received, to select, based at least partly on the quality level, a feedback resource, and to decide on causing transmission of feedback on the selected feedback resource.
Claims18
An apparatus comprising:
- a non-transitory memory configured to store received information;
- and
- at least one processing core configured to:
- determine a quality level at which the received information was received, select, based, at least partially, on the determined quality level and a mapping from a set of quality level ranges to a set of feedback resources, a feedback resource, and
- decide on causing transmission of feedback on the selected feedback resource, wherein the at least one processing core is configured to decide to suppress the transmission of the feedback responsive to determining that another apparatus has transmitted feedback using a feedback resource associated with a quality level that is inferior to the determined quality level.
An apparatus comprising at least one processing core, and at least one non-transitory memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processing core, cause the apparatus at least to:
- transmit information to devices;
- provide to the devices a mapping from a set of quality level ranges to a set of feedback resources;
- receive, from the devices, feedback concerning reception of the information, wherein feedback indicating a first reception quality is received on a first feedback resource and feedback indicating a second reception quality is received on a second feedback resource according to the provided mapping, where at least one received feedback is configured to indicate a lowest determined quality level range of the devices;
- and
- decide on modifying a transmission parameter based, at least partially, on the received feedback.
A method comprising:
- storing received information in an apparatus;
- determining a quality level at which the received information was received;
- selecting, based, at least partially, on the determined quality level and a mapping from a set of quality level ranges to a set of feedback resources, a feedback resource, and
- deciding on causing transmission of feedback on the selected feedback resource, further comprising deciding to suppress the transmission of the feedback responsive to determining that another apparatus has transmitted feedback using a feedback resource associated with a first quality level that is inferior to the determined quality level.
