User specific load balancing

A computer readable medium encoded with a computer program executable by a processor to perform actions comprising:

• detecting with a hybrid automatic repeat request function a collision between an uplink packet re-transmission and a new uplink packet transmission within a hybrid automatic repeat request process;
• and
• in response, the hybrid automatic repeat request function dynamically allocating resources for transmitting the new uplink packet transmission in a different hybrid automatic repeat request process that does not collide with the uplink packet re-transmission.

An apparatus comprising:

• a hybrid automatic repeat request functional unit configured to detect with a hybrid automatic repeat request function, a collision between an uplink packet re-transmission and a new uplink packet transmission within a hybrid automatic repeat request process;
• and
• in response, the hybrid automatic repeat request functional unit being configured to dynamically allocate resources for transmitting the new uplink packet transmission in a different hybrid automatic repeat request process that does not collide with the uplink packet re-transmission.

A method comprising:

• transmitting a packet re-transmission in a hybrid automatic repeat request process using a semi-persistently scheduled uplink resource;
• and
• responsive to receiving a dynamic allocation of a different hybrid automatic repeat request process, transmitting a new packet using the dynamically allocated different hybrid automatic repeat request process.
