Abstract
Forward and Reverse Channel Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) communication is described in which a Forward Channel Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) session between a first unit and a second unit is performed, in which a command is send to the second unit to start a forward channel ARQ session, where the command includes a message length field specifying the length of an ARQ message to be sent by the first unit to the second unit. The second unit may refuse the command because of the length of the ARQ message.
Claims31
A wireless selective call transceiver comprising:
- a storage space;
- and
- a control circuit coupled to the storage space, the control circuit to refuse to receive a message when available space in the storage space is not large enough to store the complete message, wherein the message is refused by the control circuit causing the selective call transceiver to transmit an abort message to the source of the refused message.
A method of performing wireless Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) messaging between a sending unit and a receiving unit, said method comprising:
- sending a command to the receiving unit to start a channel ARQ session;
- and
- the receiving unit refusing to accept an ARQ message, by sending an abort message to the sending unit, if available space in a memory of the receiving unit is not large enough to store the entire ARQ message.
A wireless communication system comprising:
- a sending unit to send a command to start an Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) session;
- and
- a receiving unit to accept or reject the command based on whether available storage space in the receiving unit is large enough to store a complete associated ARQ message, wherein the command is rejected by the receiving unit sending an abort message command to the sending unit.
A method of performing a Reverse Channel Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) between a mobile pager unit and a base unit, said method comprising:
- the mobile pager unit sending an ARQ message as part of a Reverse Channel ARQ session;
- the base unit sending a done indication signal to the mobile pager unit after receiving all of the ARQ message;
- the mobile pager unit sending an acknowledgment indication to the base unit in response to receiving the done indication message to terminate the ARQ session.
