20080222478 | Retransmission method and wireless communication system - Disclosed herewith is a communication method employed for a wireless communication system. The method controls retransmission in case where wireless communication between a data transmitter and a data receiver in the system is unstable, thereby suppressing increasing of a communication delay time that might otherwise be caused by the retransmission control, thereby reducing transmission error occurrence. The transmitter node transmits a wireless signal including data while the receiver node receives the wireless signal and checks the received signal for error existence. If not detecting any error in the received data, the receiver node transmits an ACK (Acknowledgement) signal to the transmitter node. If detecting an error in the received data, the receiver node does not transmit the ACK (Acknowledgement) signal to the transmitter node. At this time, an interception node intercepts the data transmitted from the transmitter node and stores the intercepted data in a data storage unit. And if not detecting the ACK (Acknowledgement) signal transmitted from the receiver node, the interception node retransmits the stored data to the receiver node. If detecting the ACK (Acknowledgement) signal, the interception node does not retransmit the stored data to the receiver node. | 09-11-2008 |

After the data packet is initially communicated from the first device to the second device, if an acknowledgement is not received at the first device, the first device may retransmit the data packet. If no acknowledgement is received after a certain period of time, communication of the data packet may be considered to have a lower importance, and so additional retransmissions bay be delayed until a retransmission trigger is identified. Examples of such a trigger may be powering on of an antenna for a second different data packet transmission, or identification that a subsequent data packet was successfully received by the second device. | 12-03-2015 |
