Data transmission acknowledgment method, sending acknowledgement of receipt of data segment on one of multiple M transmission channels if sub-segments received on N reception channels and related to same data segment are valid

摘要

The method involves transmitting data in form of segments having multiple sub-segments by a first machine, where each segment is transmitted on one of multiple N transmission channels. A second machine sends an acknowledgement of receipt of the data segment on one of multiple M transmission channels if the sub-segments received on N reception channels and related to the same data segment are valid. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) a machine implied in data transmission acknowledgement process (b) a computer program with instructions for executing data transmission acknowledgement method.
