Indicating delays added to packets due to retransmission
First Claim
1. A transceiver configured to indicate delays added to packets due to retransmission events, comprising:
- a first scheduler, memory, a retransmission module, a second scheduler, a delay indicator module, and a physical layer module;
the first scheduler is configured to receive packet streams, multiplex the packet streams into a first multiplexed packet stream, and to add time indications;
the memory is configured to store the first multiplexed packet stream together with the time indications;
the retransmission module is configured to receive a retransmission request and to select data for retransmission;
the second scheduler is configured to receive the first multiplexed packet stream and the data for retransmission, and to multiplex the first multiplexed packet stream and the data for retransmission into a second multiplexed packet stream;
the delay indicator module is configured to utilize the time indications to calculate delays added to packets of the second multiplexed packet stream as a result of fulfilling the retransmission request;
the delay indicator module is further configured to add the calculated delays to at least some of the packets of the second multiplexed packet stream; and
the physical layer module is configured to transmit the second multiplexed packet stream.

Abstract
System and method indicating delays added to packets due to retransmission events. The method includes the steps of receiving multiple packet streams and multiplexing them into a first multiplexed packet stream; storing in memory the first multiplexed packet stream together with time indications; receiving a retransmission request and selecting data for retransmission; multiplexing the first multiplexed packet stream and the data for retransmission into a second multiplexed packet stream; utilizing the time indications for calculating delays that were added to packets of the second multiplexed packet stream as a result of fulfilling the retransmission request; adding the calculated delays to at least some of the packets of the second multiplexed packet stream; and transmitting the second multiplexed packet stream.
