Abstract

Group acknowledgement of a range of consecutive sequence numbers associated with non-received data. The acknowledgement includes indication of at least one endpoint of the range. It can include, for example, the sequence numbers of the first and last non-received data or the last received data packet. The feedback can refer also to a single sequence number, relating to a single PDU. The triggering of the acknowledgement can be done by conventional gap detection or receiver timers.
