METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING AUTONOMOUS RETRANSMISSIONS IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A TRANSMITTER THAT MAY HAVE MARGINAL POWER AVAILABILITY IS ENABLED TO AUTONOMOUSLY RETRANSMIT PREVIOUSLY TRANSMITTED FRAMES CONTAINING THE SAME DATA. THE TRANSMITTER SENDS AN INITIAL FRAME TO A BASE TRANSCEIVER STATION (BTS) AND IMMEDIATELY RETRANSMITS THE SAME FRAME WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY ACK/NAK TRANSMISSION FROM THE BTS. THE RETRANSMISSIONS ARE ACCUMULATED IN THE RECEIVER AND DECODED AFTER A SUFFICIENT QUANTITY OF THE FRAME IS TRANSMITTED. AFTER RECEIVING THE LAST RETRANSMITTED FRAME THE BTS SENDS AN ACK/NAK TO THE TRANSMITTER THAT IS ACCEPTED.
