An apparatus (102, 104) for transmitting a stream of information bytes, the apparatus (102, 104) includes a mechanism (604, 618, 638) for receiving/transmitting a message specifying a radio link protocol, RLP, round-trip time, RTT, estimate, and a mechanism (604) for conducting an RLP communication session using said RTT estimate to determine negative acknowledgment, NAK, message timing. A first RLP RTT estimate can be established during service negotiation, and is used to determine NAK message timing in a subsequent RLP communication session. Alternatively, a 3-way handshake is performed for generating a first RTT estimate associated with the first RLP communication session, a second RTT estimate, based on the first RTT estimate, associated with a second RLP communication session is established during service negotiation. The second RLP RTT estimate is used to determine NAK message timing in a subsequent RLP communication session. |
