Abstract
A system and method of data transmission in a wireless communication network are disclosed. The method comprises detecting an error in an original transmission and in response thereto, determining that latency sensitive data in the original transmission would be stale when transmitting a copy of the original transmission. The method further comprises transmitting the copy of the original transmission when a retransmission value function at least equals a predetermined threshold and transmitting a new transmission when the retransmission value function is less than the predetermined threshold. The new transmission comprises a copy of the data from the original transmission that is not stale when transmitting the new transmission.
Claims19
A method of data transmission comprising:
- determining, in response to detecting an error in an original transmission in a wireless communication network, that latency sensitive data in the original transmission would be stale when transmitting a copy of the original transmission;
- transmitting the copy of the original transmission when a retransmission value function at least equals a predetermined threshold, the retransmission value function being less than the predetermined threshold when a smaller size of the new transmission compared with a size of the copy of the original transmission outweighs a combining gain that would be achieved by transmitting the copy of the original transmission;
- and
- transmitting a new transmission when the retransmission value function is less than the predetermined threshold, said new transmission comprising a copy of the data from the original transmission that is not stale when transmitting the new transmission.
A system of data transmission comprising:
- computer readable program code components configured to cause determining, in response to detecting an error in an original transmission in a wireless communication network, that latency sensitive data in the original transmission would be stale when transmitting a copy of the original transmission;
- computer readable program code components configured to cause transmitting the copy of the original transmission when a retransmission value function at least equals a predetermined threshold, the retransmission value function being less than the predetermined threshold when a smaller size of the new transmission compared with a size of the copy of the original transmission outweighs a combining gain that would be achieved by transmitting the copy of the original transmission;
- and
- computer readable program code components configured to cause transmitting a new transmission when the retransmission value function is less than the predetermined threshold, said new transmission comprising a copy of the data from the original transmission that is not stale when transmitting the new transmission.
A processor for data transmission to:
- determine, in response to detecting an error in an original transmission in a wireless communication network, that latency sensitive data in the original transmission would be stale when transmitting a copy of the original transmission;
- transmit the copy of the original transmission when a retransmission value function at least equals a predetermined threshold, the retransmission value function being less than the predetermined threshold when a smaller size of the new transmission compared with a size of the copy of the original transmission outweighs a combining gain that would be achieved by retransmitting the copy of the original transmission;
- and
- transmit a new transmission when the retransmission value function is less than the predetermined threshold, said new transmission comprising a copy of the data from the original transmission that is not stale when transmitting the new transmission.
