Method for downloading data in a radio communications system

摘要

According to one aspect of the invention, in a radio communications system comprising at least one base station (BS 1 , BS 2 ) provided with means for transmitting data via a communication link (BCCH; V), wherein the data is divided into a plurality of data packets and being transmitted via the communication link to at least one receiving station (UE). To reduce power consumption it is proposed that the downloading of the data packets is halted if it is determined that a data packet has not been received or a corrupted data packet has been received by the receiving station, the missing or corrupted data packet is retransmitted via the same or a different communication link at a later time.
