1. A method comprising:
- encoding video data;
forming an Internet protocol (IP) packet with the encoded video data;
transmitting the packet across a wireless channel to an access network;
at a medium access control (MAC) layer, receiving a negative acknowledgement (NAK) from the access network;
determining whether the received NAK is associated with a packet that contains video data;
determining which IP packet contains data that was lost in transmission; and
if the received NAK is associated with a packet that contains video data, performing error control.

Abstract
The disclosure relates to reverse link lower layer assisted video error control. A method may encode video data, form a packet with the encoded video data, and transmit the packet across a wireless channel to an access network. A medium access control (MAC) layer may receive a negative acknowledgement (NAK) from the access network. The method may determine whether the received NAK is associated with a packet that contains video data. If the received NAK is associated with a packet that contains video data, the method may perform error control.
