Abstract
Through the identification of different packet-types, packets can be handled based on an assigned packet handling identifier. This identifier can, for example, enable forwarding of latency-sensitive packets without delay and allow error-sensitive packets to be stored for possible retransmission. In another embodiment, and optionally in conjunction with retransmission protocols including a packet handling identifier, a memory used for retransmission of packets can be shared with other transceiver functionality such as, coding, decoding, interleaving, deinterleaving, error correction, and the like.
Claims21
A method of packet retransmission comprising:
- transmitting or receiving, using a transceiver, a plurality of packets,
- wherein at least one first packet of the plurality of packets is associated with a first delay requirement,
- wherein at least one second packet of the plurality of packets is associated with a second delay requirement, and
- wherein the second delay requirement is lower than the first delay requirement;
- and
- transmitting or receiving, using the transceiver, a message comprising acknowledgement (ACK) information of the at least one first packet,
- wherein the ACK information is transmitted or received a plurality of times such that the ACK information is transmitted or received in a first DMT symbol and the ACK information is also transmitted or received in a second DMT symbol.
A system comprising:
- a transceiver including a transmitter and a receiver configured to transmit or receive a plurality of packets,
- wherein at least one first packet of the plurality of packets is associated with a first delay requirement,
- wherein at least one second packet of the plurality of packets is associated with a second delay requirement, and
- wherein the second delay requirement is lower than the first delay requirement;
- the transceiver further configured to transmit or receive a message comprising acknowledgement (ACK) information of the at least one first packet,
- wherein the ACK information is transmitted or received a plurality of times such that the ACK information is transmitted or received in a first DMT symbol and the ACK information is also transmitted or received in a second DMT symbol.
A non-transitory computer readable information storage media having stored thereon instructions that when executed by a processor cause to be performed a method of packet retransmission comprising:
- transmitting or receiving, using a transceiver, a plurality of packets,
- wherein at least one first packet of the plurality of packets is associated with a first delay requirement,
- wherein at least one second packet of the plurality of packets is associated with a second delay requirement, and
- wherein the second delay requirement is lower than the first delay requirement;
- and
- transmitting or receiving, using the transceiver, a message comprising acknowledgement (ACK) information of the at least one first packet,
- wherein the ACK information is transmitted or received a plurality of times such that the ACK information is transmitted or received in a first DMT symbol and the ACK information is also transmitted or received in a second DMT symbol.
