Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method is provided for retransmitting fragmented packets for which a transference of retransmission credit is performed from one fragment onto the next. The method makes it possible to do away with the drawbacks of the methods existing by appreciably improving performance in terms of untransmitted packet rate and by making it possible to configure the distribution of the error probabilities for the fragments of an IP packet.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for retransmitting fragmented packets between an emitter and a receiver, said fragmented packets being obtained by a fragmentation of a data packet to be transmitted, wherein for each said fragmented packet said method comprises: assigning a persistence P(i) of transmission to each fragmented packet, so that a sum of the persistences assigned to said fragmented packets is equal to a predetermined overall cost C of transmitting said data packet…
