Extended Reality (XR) is one of the most important media applications in 5th Generation (5G) and 5G-Advanced. XR traffic is characterized by high data rates with bounded latency constraints, which is challenging for bandwidth-constrained wireless systems. In this paper, we propose two new low-complexity enhanced Outer Loop Link Adaptation (eOLLA) algorithms that significantly improve the downlink system capacity in terms of satisfied XR users. The algorithms exploit the Code Block Group (CBG)-based Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) multi-bit feedback for minimizing the radio resource utilization in retransmissions by controlling the first and second block error operation points. Evaluation by means of both analytical assessment and realistic system-level simulations verifies that the proposed eOLLA algorithms increase system capacity by up to 67 compared to known OLLA algorithms with traditional transport block based HARQ.
