Abstract
The present invention is related to a method and arrangement in a radio communication system for performing a message transfer transaction in which at least one message is transferred in at least one frame from a first unit to a second unit. Properties of radio signals exchanged between the first unit and the second unit are measured (501). A mode of informing the first unit of frame receipt status at the second unit during the message transfer transaction is selected (502) based on the measured radio signal properties. The at least one frame is transferred (503) from the first unit to the second unit while the first unit is informed of the frame receipt status at the second unit in accordance with the selected mode of informing.
Claims32
A method in a radio communication system for performing a message transfer transaction in which at least one message is transferred in at least one frame from a first unit to a second unit using digitally modulated radio signals, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) measuring properties of radio signals exchanged between the first unit and the second unit;
- b) selecting a mode of informing the first unit of frame receipt status at the second unit during the message transfer transaction based on the measured signal properties;
- c) transferring the at least one message in the at least one frame from the first unit to the second unit while informing the first unit of the frame receipt status at the second unit in accordance with the selected mode of informing.
A radio communication system comprising:
- a first unit having first radio communication means;
- a second unit having second radio communication means;
- a measuring means for measuring properties of radio signals exchanged between the first unit and the second unit, wherein the first radio communication means and the second radio communication means are adapted to perform a message transfer transaction in which at least one message is transferred in at least one frame from the first radio communication means in the first unit to the second radio communication means in the second unit using digitally modulated radio signals;
- and
- a selecting means for selecting a mode of informing the first radio communication means of frame receipt status at the second radio communication means based on the measured radio signal properties, wherein the first radio communication means and the second radio communication means are adapted to perform the message transfer transaction using the selected mode of informing the first radio communication means of the frame receipt status at the second radio communication means.
