Abstract
A method and system for retransmitting data packets in a communication system having variable data rates is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, data packets are packetized to an atomic packet size equal to that of a lowest rate packet. If a data packet requires retransmission at a rate different than that at which the data packet was initially transmitted, the rate is dynamically changed based upon a multiple of the atomic packet size.
