Patent ID: 8170476

Claim:
A method for transmitting data packets in a radio system between a transmitter and a receiver, comprising: determining a specified nominal emission power for a data packet relative to a required reception quality; transmitting the data packet with a first effective emission power, the first effective emission power being the nominal emission power or an emission power deviated from said nominal emission power due to certain boundary conditions; when the first effective emission power is less than the specified nominal emission power, deriving a new nominal emission power by adding the difference between the first effective emission power and the specified nominal emission power to the specified nominal emission power; retransmitting the data packet with a second effective emission power, the second effective emission power being the new nominal emission power or an emission power deviated from the new nominal emission power due to certain boundary conditions; and repeating the deriving and retransmitting until the effective applied emission power is equal to the specified nominal emission power; and when the first effective emission power is greater than or equal to the specified nominal emission power, retransmitting the data packet with the specified nominal emission power.
