Abstract:
1. A method of operating a wireless communication system comprising: receiving flow identifications (IDs) for media flows that traverse the wireless communication system and that use forward error correction (FEC) packets and a number of HARQ retransmissions per flow ID, in a first processor embedded with software instructions comprising a HARQ transmission system; receiving the flow IDs, configuration data for the flow IDs, and communication status data for the wireless communication system, in a second processor embedded with software instructions comprising a HARQ control system; determining if the communication status data exceeds a system status threshold, in the HARQ control system; if the communication status data does not exceed the system status threshold, then maintaining the number of HARQ retransmissions per flow ID; and if the communication status data exceeds the system status threshold, then adjusting the number of HARQ retransmissions per flow ID; and in the HARQ transmission system using the number of HARQ retransmissions per flow ID.
