Abstract
A method and poll control entity () for controlling a polling procedure in a radio communication where a data transmitting node () transmits data () to a data receiving node () and sends polls to the data receiving node according to a default polling frequency. The polls require the data receiving node to send feedback () to the data transmitting node indicating whether said data has been received and decoded by the data receiving node or not. The poll control entity detects (-) a trigger of the radio communication indicating a deviation of a feedback time which is a time period between a time of sending the poll and a time of receiving the feedback from an expected feedback time range. The poll control entity then adjusts () the polling frequency based on the detected trigger such that the deviation of the feedback time is reduced, and enforces () the adjusted polling frequency at the data transmitting node. In this way, the polling frequency can be dynamically and individually adapted to the current situation of traffic load and/or radio conditions which may influence the resulting feedback time in the radio communication, to achieve efficient communication of data and good throughput.
