Data processor system and a method for communication data

摘要

A data processor system includes a first data processor unit for transmitting data units to a second data processor unit and a retry buffer for temporarily storing transmitted data units. The second data processor unit receives the transmitted data and includes an error detector for detecting an error in the received data. When an error is detected, the first data processor unit is notified and a controller causes a data selector to select data from a retry buffer. The first data processor unit limits retransmission of a data unit to a predetermined maximum number of times irrespective of whether the data unit is correctly received or not. This allows for an undisturbed flow of streaming data with an increased reliability.
