Apparatus, method and computer program product providing retransmission utilizing multiple ARQ mechanisms

摘要

A method includes receiving at least one transport block and determining from the at least one transport block a first data unit, wherein a portion but not all of the first, data unit includes a second data unit; determining information corresponding to acknowledgement status of the first data unit; determining, based at least on the information, whether a request should be performed requesting retransmission of the second data unit; and performing the request in response to a determination the request should be performed. Another method includes determining information corresponding to acknowledgement status of a previously transmitted data unit, wherein a portion but not all of the previously transmitted data unit includes a second data unit; determining, based at least on the information, whether retransmission of the second data unit should occur; and performing the retransmission of the second data unit in response to a determination the retransmission should be performed.
