1. A method for minimizing feedback responses in an ARQ protocol, comprising the steps of:
- sending a plurality of first data units over a communication link;
receiving said plurality of first data units; and
responsive to the receiving step, constructing a message field for a second data unit, said message field including a type identifier field and at least one of a sequence number field, a length field, and a content field.

Abstract
A method for minimizing feedback responses in an ARQ protocol is disclosed, whereby different mechanisms can be used to indicate erroneous D-PDUs and construct S-PDUs. The S-PDUs are constructed so as to optimize performance in accordance with certain criteria. One such criterion used is to minimize the size of the S-PDUs. A second such criterion used is to maximize the number of SNs included in an S-PDU of limited size.
