<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To present a device and a method in which the sender divides an amount of data to be sent into one or more data units and the receiver confirms the correct receipt of data units by returning acknowledgement data units to the sender. <P>SOLUTION: Data units are sent by the sender in accordance with a flow control procedure that involves one or more adaptive parameters. After a given data unit is sent, the sender performs a data loss detection routine, and if a triggering event occurs, a corresponding response procedure is conducted, where the response procedure includes at least two different modes for adapting the one or more adaptive parameters. Preferably, there are first and second modes, where the first mode is associated with the actual loss of a data unit, so that the first mode includes the conventional data loss procedures, and where the second mode is associated with the recognition that an excessive delay has taken place and not a loss of a unit. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
