Abstract
In the method, a receiver receives an indication of if the maximum number of sub-packet transmissions for conveying a data packet from a transmitter to the receiver has taken place. If the receiver has not properly received the data packet over a channel when this indication is received, then the receiver sends a non-acknowledgement response that causes the transmitter to re-schedule and re-send the data packet.

A method of managing non-acknowledgement (NAK) responses, comprising:
- sending a status identifier to a receiver for a channel assigned to the receiver, the status identifier indicating whether a maximum number of sub-packet transmissions for a data packet being sent over the channel have taken place.
A method of managing non-acknowledgement (NAK) responses, comprising:
- receiving a status identifier for a channel assigned to the receiver, the status identifier indicating whether a maximum number of sub-packet transmissions for a data packet being sent over the channel have taken place;
- and
- sending a NAK response from the receiver if the status identifier indicates that the maximum number of sub-packet transmissions have taken place and the data packet has not been properly received.
A method of managing non-acknowledgement (NAK) responses, comprising:
- counting a number of sub-packet transmissions for a data packet being sent over a channel to the receiver;
- sending a channel identifier, identifying the channel, to the receiver if the count number reaches a maximum number of permitted sub-packet transmissions.
A method of managing non-acknowledgement (NAK) responses, comprising:
- receiving a channel identifier identifying a channel over which the receiver is to receive a data packet;
- and
- sending, from the receiver, a NAK response for the channel in response to receipt of the channel identifier if the data packet being sent over the channel has not been properly received.
A method of managing non-acknowledgement (NAK) responses, comprising:
- sending a status identifier and service identifier to the receiver for a channel assigned to the receiver, the service identifier identifies a type of service associated with a data packet being sent over the channel and the status identifier indicates whether a maximum number of sub-packet transmissions for the data packet has taken place.
A method of managing non-acknowledgement (NAK) responses, comprising:
- receiving a status identifier and service identifier for a data packet being sent over a channel, the service identifier identifing a type of service associated with the data packet being sent over the channel and the status identifier indicating whether a maximum number of sub-packet transmissions for the data packet has taken place;
- and
- sending a NAK response from the receiver if the status identifier indicates that the maximum number of sub-packet transmissions for the data packet being sent over the channel have taken place and the data packet has not been properly received.
A method of managing non-acknowledgement (NAK) responses, comprising:
- counting a number of sub-packet transmissions for a data packet being sent over a channel to the receiver;
- sending a service identifier, identifying a service associated with the data packet being sent over the channel, to the receiver if the count number reaches a maximum number of permitted sub-packet transmissions.
A method of managing non-acknowledgement (NAK) responses, comprising:
- receiving a service identifier identifying a service associated with a data packet, which is being sent over a channel to a receiver;
- and
- sending, from the receiver, a NAK response for the channel carrying a data packet associated with the identified service in response to receipt of the service identifier if the data packet being sent over the channel has not been properly received.
