Device and method for mitigating effects of impulse noise on data packet transfer

摘要

A device (112) for mitigating effects of impulse noise on data packet transfer over a communication line (102) is configured at least partially according to physical layer characteristics of the communication line (102) . As an example, a data packet retransmission device (112) might be configured to retransmit in response to each retransmission request an amount of data packets depending on the physical layer interleaving delay ID and/or data bit rate DBR.
