Abstract

A wireless communications system is arranged to provide data communications services, including error recovery, between at least one wireless end-user device and at least one one base station. The wireless end user device(s) receives(s) from the base station(s) unsolicited messages indicative of the status of data packets received by the base station(s). The wireless end-user device(s) transmit acknowledgement and request for retransmission messages only upon request, or when all the packets within a block of such packets have been received.
