Message acknowledgment based upon communication quality

摘要

A method of selectively employing acknowledgment in a communication system is presented herein. In one implementation of the method, at least one indication of a communication quality of a link coupling a first communication node and a second communication node is processed. After processing the indication, a message from the first communication node is transmitted over the link to the second communication node. The message includes an acknowledgment request if the processing of the indication signifies that the communication quality of the link is below a predetermined level. Oppositely, the message does not include an acknowledgment request if the processing of the indication signifies that the communication quality of the link at least attains the predetermined level.

1. A method of selectively employing acknowledgment in a communication system, the method comprising:
processing at least one indication of communication quality of a link communicatively coupling the first communication node with a second communication node by averaging a most recent number of the at least one indication of communication quality; after processing the at least one indication, transmitting a plurality of messages from the first communication node over the link to the second communication node; wherein each of the messages includes an acknowledgment request if the average of the most recent number of the at least one indication signifies that the communication quality of the link is below a predetermined level; and wherein only one of the messages includes the acknowledgment request if the average of the most recent number of the at least one indication signifies that the communication quality of the link at least attains the predetermined level.
