Claim:
1. A method for generating a new framing for communication between a transmitter on a transmission side and a receiver on a receiver side in a communication system that employs a scheme that transmits data transmission units according to a sequential clock timing, comprising: determining a data transmission unit size depending on an estimated roundtrip timing; measuring an actual roundtrip timing of a data transmission unit at the transmitter; wherein measuring the actual roundtrip timing is based on a plurality of received acknowledge signals that indicate that the receiver acknowledges receipt of the data transmission unit; calculating a difference between the estimated roundtrip timing and the actual roundtrip timing in the receiver, wherein the estimated roundtrip timing is based on half roundtrip to a receiver and half roundtrip to a transmitter; comparing the difference between the estimated roundtrip timing and the actual roundtrip timing to a predetermined threshold; and redefining the data transmission unit size if the difference between the estimated roundtrip timing and the actual roundtrip timing is larger than the predetermined threshold.
