Abstract:
1. A method for transferring data according to an ARQ methodology comprising: transferring data is transferred from a transmitter to a receiver in the form of data packets wherein at least one repeat data packet is transferred by the transmitter to the receiver after transmission of a data packet when a corresponding request is issued by the receiver, and the bits to be transferred in the data packet and at least one repeat data packet are subjected to bit rate adaptation before they are transferred from the transmitter to the receiver; utilizing one or more bit rate adaptation models for bit rate adaptation, including using parameters of the one or more bit rate adaptation models for calculation of the bit rate adaptation; and signaling at least one of the one or more bit rate adaptation models from the transmitter to the receiver for use in differentiating between self-decoding and non-self-decoding data packets.
