Radio telecommunications network, a method of transmitting data in a radio telecommunications network, a receiver, and a method of receiving

A method of transmitting data in a radio telecommunications network comprising a transmitter and a receiver, the method comprising transmitting signals indicative of data, receiving the signals (12) and decoding the signals to determine the data, indicating to the transmitter (2) whether data has been correctly determined, and retransmitting at least some data not correctly determined, the method further comprising storing the determined data in a buffer (14) of the receiver (4), the determined data being output from the buffer (14) at a predetermined rate.

A radio telecommunications receiver (4) operative to receive signals indicative of data and decode the signals to determine the data, the receiver (4) comprising indicator means to send to a transmitter an indication of whether data has been correctly determined, and being operative to receive and decode signals of retransmitted data,

• the receiver (4) comprises a buffer (14) operative to store the determined data, the buffer (14) being operative to output the determined data at a predetermined rate.

A method of receiving signals indicative of data and decoding the signals to determine the data, the signals being sent in a radio telecommunications network to a receiver, the method comprising sending an indication of whether data has been correctly determined, and receiving and decoding signals of retransmitted data,

• the method further comprising storing the determined data in a buffer of the receiver and outputting the determined data at a predetermined rate.
