First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a series of datagrams;
determining which of said series of datagrams have been incorrectly received;
generating a plurality of data units, each data unit having a status bit indicative of the status of the data unit and a plurality of spacing bits, wherein the plurality of spacing bits from the plurality of data units together form a binary number, the binary number being the spacing between one incorrectly received datagram and a succeeding incorrectly received datagram; and
assembling said plurality of data units together into an acknowledgement message.

Abstract
A method for generating acknowledgement messages in a data transmission system having a receiver for receiving datagrams and being capable of determining which of a series of datagrams have been incorrectly received, the method comprising generating a plurality of a data units, each data unit comprising: a status bit indicative of the status of the data unit; and a plurality of spacing bits together forming a binary representation of a number at least partially indicative of the spacing between one incorrectly received datagram and a succeeding incorrectly received datagram.

16. An apparatus comprising:
-
a datagram checking unit configured to determine which of a plurality of datagrams received from a transmitter have been incorrectly received; and an acknowledgement message generator configured to generate acknowledgement messages, each acknowledgement message comprising a plurality of data units, each data unit comprising; a status bit indicative of the status of the data unit; and a plurality of spacing bits, wherein the plurality of spacing bits from the plurality of data units together form a binary number, the binary number being the spacing between one incorrectly received datagram and a succeeding incorrectly received datagram. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
