Abstract:
1. In a wireless communication system with a first retransmission mechanism in a first sublayer and a second retransmission mechanism in a second sublayer, a method for retransmitting data with the first retransmission mechanism, comprising: detecting missing frames in the first sublayer; initiating a dynamic timers for each missing frames in the first sublayer, the dynamic timer for each missing frame associated with a respective candidate set of logical channels that may be used to transmit the missing frame; removing, from the set of logical channels, logical channels identified as conveying, at the second sublayer, packets associated with frames successfully received at the first sublayer: updating the dynamic timers based on a determination that the candidate set is empty; and determining whether or not the frames detected to be missing are lost based on the one or more dynamic timers.
