Method and Arrangement in a Wireless Communication Network

An arrangement in a terminal for demodulating information received from a base station, wherein the base station and the terminal are part of a wireless communication network, and wherein the information comprises a first data block and a second data block, the arrangement comprising:

• a receiver adapted to receive, from the base station, a modulated first part of a first Uplink State Flag (USF) value, a modulated first part of a second USF value, and a modulated first data block, the receiver being further adapted to receive, from the base station, a modulated second part of the first USF value, a modulated second part of the second USF value, and a modulated second data block;
• and
• a demodulator adapted to demodulate the modulated first parts of the first and second USF values and the modulated first data block according to a first modulation technique, the demodulator further being adapted to demodulate the modulated second parts of the first and second USF values and the modulated second data block according to a second modulation technique different from the first modulation technique.

A method in a control node for supporting a base station in modulating information intended for transmission from the base station to a terminal, wherein the control node, the base station, and the terminal are part of a wireless communication network, and wherein the information comprises a first data block and a second data block, the method comprising:

• providing, to the base station, first modulation information associated with the first data block and second modulation information associated with the second data block, the second modulation information being different from the first modulation information;
