Patent ID: 8433356

Claim:
A method for transmitting data packets in a radio system between a transmitter and a receiver, wherein for each data packet and each transmission, a nominal energy is predefined as a function of a quality requirement for reception at the receiver, comprising: determining a transmitter power required for each data packet through the function of the quality requirement for reception of each data packet; at least two of the data packets being assigned to different services; forming a transmission data packet from a plurality of data packets; specifying a first-transmission transmitter power for a first transmission of the transmission data packet as a function of the determined transmitter power for each data packet; transmitting the transmission data packet at the first-transmission transmitter power; and deriving a repeat-transmission transmitter power as a function of a nominal transmission power derived from the nominal energy required for the transmission data packet and from the transmitter power required for at least one previous transmission of the transmission data packet.
