Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: a transmitting node transmitting digital data with a first level of repetition over a first air interface channel to a receiving node during an initial part of a communication session; detecting a degradation in quality of said communication session; and in response to said degradation in quality, said transmitting node transmitting digital data with a second level of repetition over a second air interface channel to said receiving node during a subsequent part of said communication session and said transmitting node transmitting digital data with said first level of repetition over said first air interface channel to said receiving node during said subsequent part of said communication session, wherein said second level of repetition is N times higher than said first level of repetition and N is an integer greater than one, such that a data portion transmitted over said first air interface channel during said subsequent part of said communication session is transmitted N times over said second air interface channel during said subsequent part of said communication session.
