METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REMOTE PROCEDURE CALL VIA AN UNRELIABLE COMMUNICATION CHANNEL USING MULTIPLE RETRANSMISSION TIMERS

摘要

A method (300) and communication system (400, 500, 600, 1300, 1400) provide a remote procedure call from a client to a server via un unreliable communication channel using a plurality of retransmission timers. The method includes the client transmitting to the server a request (302) and waiting for a confirm message, and the client retransmitting the request after each of a predetermined sequence of time-out periods (303, 312) implemented by the plurality of retransmission timers until a confirm message (316) is received from the server.
