Abstract
A method for reducing retransmission of packets by a sender is disclosed. The method includes: providing a network comprising a physical layer, a medium access control (MAC) layer and an Radio Link Control (RLC) layer; providing a retransmission packet in the physical layer, wherein the retransmission packet comprises a flow having a reordering feature in the RLC layer; enabling Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) in the physical layer and the MAC layer; receiving a HARQ request for a retransmission; and transmitting a new packet with the physical layer in response to the HARQ request, when the reordering feature for the flow in the retransmission packet is disabled.
