A method for transmitting data is described that includes the steps of: Producing a data frame for transmission, the data frame including a sequence number and user data, saving a copy of the data frame in a retransmission buffer, and if said step of saving a copy requires that data already present in the retransmission buffer is overwritten, selecting the one or more oldest data frames in the retransmission buffer to be overwritten, in case an error is determined in the received data frame, communicating an error message to the transmitter of the data frame, which error message at least comprises an indication of the sequence number of the last correctly received data frame,-upon receipt of such message and if available, retransmitting one or more data frames from the retransmission buffer having a sequence number higher than the sequence number communicated in the message.
