Abstract
An approach for transmission provides a method of enabling Hybrid Automatic Request, HARQ, in an IEEE 802.11 communication. The method includes transmitting, in an element in a Block Acknowledgement, BA, setup of a Medium Access Control, MAC, message, which element indicates a request to use HARQ, receiving a response to said request, and starting to apply HARQ. The approach includes a network entity of a wireless network using IEEE 802.11. The network entity includes a transmitter arranged to transmit, in an element in a Block Acknowledgement, BA, setup of a Medium Access Control, MAC, message, which element indicates a request to use HARQ, a receiver arranged to receive a response to said request, and a communication handler arranged to start to apply HARQ.
