First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of transmitting data, comprising:
- transmitting a series of data units;
receiving retransmission requests indicating at least one data unit in the transmitted series of data units as a corrupt data unit which was not received correctly;
analyzing the retransmission requests to detect a periodic pattern according to which pattern corrupt data units occur periodically; and
transmitting and retransmitting further data units corresponding to the periodic pattern, the retransmission being independent of retransmission requests for the respective data units corresponding to the further data units.

9. A data transmitter comprising:
-
a transmission circuit configured to transmit a series of data units; a receiver circuit configured to receive retransmission requests indicating at least one data unit in the transmitted series of data units as a corrupt data unit which was not received correctly; and a retransmission control circuit configured to analyze the retransmission requests to detect a periodic pattern according to which pattern corrupt data units occur periodically, and to control the transmission circuit to transmit and retransmit further data units corresponding to the periodic pattern, the retransmission being independent of retransmission requests for the respective data units corresponding to the further data units. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
