Abstract
Embodiments related to retransmission in a communication system are described and depicted. In one embodiment, a retransmission entity repeats a transmission of a data transfer unit by the device after a predetermined number of other transmitted data transfer units has been transmitted. The retransmission entity may also determine whether a measure for a time period since the first transmission of the data transfer unit by the device has exceeded a predetermined threshold and to provide a final transmission of the data transfer unit based on the determining that the measure for the time period has exceeded the predetermined threshold.
Claims27
A communication device to receive data transfer units, the communication device comprising:
- first circuitry to receive the data transfer units, wherein at least one of the data transfer units is corrupted by repetitive noise;
- second circuitry to generate a retransmission return message, wherein the retransmission return message is to indicate a number of the data transfer units acknowledged as received;
- and
- wherein the second circuitry is to select a look back value.
A method for receiving data transfer units, the method comprising:
- receiving the data transfer units, wherein at least one of the data transfer units is corrupted by repetitive noise;
- generating a retransmission return message, wherein the retransmission return message is to indicate a number of the data transfer units acknowledged as received;
- and
- communicating a look back value toward a source of the data transfer units.
A communication device to transmit data transfer units, the communication device comprising:
- first circuitry to transmit the data transfer units;
- second circuitry to receive a retransmission return message, wherein the retransmission return message is to indicate a number of the data transfer units acknowledged as received without being corrupted by repetitive noise;
- and
- wherein the second circuitry is to receive a look back value from a source of the retransmission return message.
A communication system to communicate data transfer units, the communication system comprising:
- a first communication device to transmit the data transfer units;
- a second communication device to receive the data transfer units, and to generate a retransmission return message, wherein the retransmission return message is to indicate a number of the data transfer units acknowledged as received without being corrupted by repetitive noise;
- and
- wherein the second communication device is to select a look back value.
