Abstract
A transmitting device comprises a transmitter, and a controller for receiving transmission requests from a request source. The controller comprises a queue, and is configured to queue the transmission requests in order from the front of the queue backwards, and to enact the transmission request at the front of the queue by controlling the transmitter to perform the transmission of the corresponding message. The controller is further configured to detect that at least one of these transmission requests is to be treated as a repeating request, and in response, to re-insert the repeating request in the queue in one of the places farther back than the front after transmission of the corresponding message, so as to retransmit the corresponding message at least once.
