Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03017560A1] A wireless communications system method and apparatus transmits packet data at a first rate (R1) selected to provide an acceptable packet error rate (PER) for a given wireless channel. Upon receipt of a request for retransmission of a data packet, the method and apparatus switch to a second rate (R2), lower than the first rate, for retransmitting the data packet. The overall transmission rate becomes R1/(1+PER1R1/R2), which is only slightly lower than that of the single rate retransmission R1/(1+ PER1), but the resulting PER=PER1PER2 is much smaller than PER1<2> for the case of single rate retransmission.
