The adaptive modulation and coding technique of HSDPA rapidly adapts modulation and coding schemes to radio channels conditions. Each time a new data block (MAC hs PDU) is sent, its size is selected according to currently known radio channel conditions. The selection of a suit able MAC-hs PDU size is important since the size cannot be modified during retransmissions. However, due to in accurate measurements, feedback delays, etc., a MAC-hs PDU size may be selected inadequately. To deal with this issue, we suggest re-evaluating a MAC-hs PDU size be fore its first retransmission. If the first estimation of a MAC-hs PDU size turns out to be a wrong choice (i.e. too optimistic), the MAC-hs PDU size is decreased, if possi ble. Performance of the proposed scheme and the standard scheme is compared.
