Abstract
A communication device is described comprising a transmitter configured to transmit data according to a retransmission protocol, a determiner configured to determine whether, for a transmission time scheduled according to the retransmission protocol, there was a transmission gap within a predetermined time interval before the transmission time or to determine whether there will be a transmission gap within a predetermined time interval after the transmission time and a controller configured to control the transmitter to perform an initial transmission of data or a retransmission of data according to the retransmission protocol at the transmission time based on the result of the determination.
