Patent ID: 10432349

Abstract:
Data Block Transmission with Variable Retransmission Feedback Time For communicating data between a transmitter (10) and a receiver (14), wireless transmission of data blocks is implemented on the basis a retransmission protocol with variable value of a feedback time. The feedback time defines a time interval between transmission of one of the data blocks (22) and transmission of a feedback message (23) indicating whether the data block (22) was successfully received. The transmitter (10) or the receiver (14) determines the value of the feedback time. Depending on the determined value of the feedback time, the transmitter (10) controls transmission of the data block (22) to the receiver and/or the receiver (14) controls reception of the data block (22) at the receiver (14). The transmitter (10) may for example be a base station of a mobile network, and the receiver (14) may be a terminal device connected to the mobile network.
