Abstract:
1. An event trigger and management system for providing automatic repeat requests (ARQs) by a single timer, comprising: a timer, timing repeatedly from 0 to 32767; an ARQ timer series, having a plurality of timer nodes, each comprising a node type parameter, an expired event parameter, a timing time, an insert time, a first pointing parameter and a second point parameter; a computing module, extracting the timing time and the insert time from one of the plurality of the timer nodes from the ARQ timer series to compute the expiry time at the extracted timer node; and an event trigger module, triggering a corresponding event according to the node type parameter and the expiry event parameter at the extracted timer node when the expiry time of the extracted timer node is identical to a cycle time of the timer, extracting a next one among the plurality of timer nodes and deleting the timer node associated with the timer node having triggered the corresponding event, and directing the computing module to compute the expired time at the extracted timer node, and going back to the computing module to compute the expiry time at the next timer node.
