Filed: 1999-10-26
Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés destinés à être utilisés avec des systèmes de demande de répétition automatique (ARQ) dans un réseau de données. Ces procédés permettent de réduire la largeur de bande utilisée par un récepteur et un émetteur dans un réseau de transfert de paquets de données grâce à l'élimination des paquets périmés dont le transfert n'a pas réussi jusqu'ici. Dans un mode de mise en oeuvre, l'en-tête du paquet ARQ contient un bit obligeant le récepteur à accepter les paquets qui suivent un ou plusieurs paquets erronés ou non reçus qui ont été supprimés et n'ont plus été envoyés. Dans un autre mode de mise en oeuvre, l'élimination des paquets de données est suivie d'une réattribution des numéros de séquence aux paquets de données non éliminés devant encore être envoyés au récepteur de manière que le train de paquets non éliminés présente des numéros de séquence consécutifs.
