Abstract:
1. A method for transmitting data packets between two transceivers in a communication system, wherein a transmission mode for transmitting the data packets is selected from a plurality of available transmission modes and an automatic repeat request for retransmission is used, comprising the steps of: calculating, for each available transmission mode, a channel parameter based on the link quality; determining, for each transmission mode, a transmission capacity parameter; identifing a state of an automatic repeat request control window for at least one transceiver; estimating a user quality value for each available transmission mode based on the channel parameter, the transmission capacity parameter, and the state of the automatic repeat request control window from at least one transceiver; and selecting a transmission mode of the plurality of available transmission modes, the selected transmission mode providing the best user quality value; wherein the transmission capacity parameter is determined by a maximal data rate (R
