APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING DATA AND APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR RECEIVING DATA

摘要

Provided are an apparatus and method for transmitting data and an apparatus and method for receiving data, in which the transmission of uncompressed data over a wireless network can be performed by retransmitting an erroneous bit or a group of erroneous bits, if any, of each sub-packet including a number of bits or a number of groups of bits having different significance levels. The apparatus for transmitting data includes an error detection module which determines whether each of a plurality of portions of a transmitted packet having different significance levels is erroneous based on a received response packet; a data-packet generation module which generates a retransmission packet including one or more erroneous portions of the transmitted packet according to the results of the determination performed by the error detection module; and a communication module which transmits the retransmission packet through a communication channel.
