System and method for transmitting information in a communication network

A system, comprising:

• transmitting information between a sender and a receiver using packets for information transmission, wherein receipt of transmitted packets is acknowledged to the sender, and unacknowledged packets are retransmitted from the sender;
• a detecting unit configured to detect one of an amount of transmitted unacknowledged information and a number of consecutive unacknowledged packets;
• a determining unit configured to determine a reason for information or packet loss based on the amount of transmitted unacknowledged information or the number of consecutive unacknowledged packets, wherein the system is configured to change or maintain, depending on whether the determined reason is bit error rate or congestion, parameters acting on the transmission by the sender;
• the sender enabling bundling wherein information is bundled in a packet;
• checking whether bundling is enabled;
• and
• changing a determining parameter to determine the reason for information or packet loss depending on whether or not bundling is enabled.

A sending unit, comprising:

• transmitting information to a receiving unit using packets for information transmission, wherein the receipt of transmitted packets is acknowledged to the sending unit and unacknowledged packets are retransmitted from the sending unit;
• a detecting unit configured to detect one of an amount of transmitted unacknowledged information and a number of consecutive unacknowledged packets;
• a determining unit configured to determine a reason for information or packet loss based on the amount of transmitted unacknowledged information or the number of consecutive unacknowledged packets, wherein the sending unit is configured to change or maintain transmission parameters depending on whether the determined reason is error rate or congestion;
• the sender enabling bundling wherein information is bundled in a packet;
• checking whether bundling is enabled;
• and
• changing a determining parameter to determine the reason for information or packet loss depending on whether or not bundling is enabled.

The system, comprising:

• transmitting information between a sender and a receiver using packets for information transmission, wherein receipt of transmitted packets is acknowledged to the sender, and unacknowledged packets are retransmitted from the sender;
• detecting means for detecting one of an amount of transmitted unacknowledged information and a number of consecutive unacknowledged packets;
• determining means for determining a reason for information or packet loss based on the amount of transmitted unacknowledged information or the number of consecutive unacknowledged packets,
• wherein the system is configured to change or maintain, depending on whether the determined reason is bit error rate or congestion, parameters acting on the transmission by the sender;
• the sender enabling bundling wherein information is bundled in a packet;
• checking whether bundling is enabled;
• and
• changing a determining parameter to determine the reason for information or packet loss depending on whether or not bundling is enabled.
