Abstract
In a network utilizing a transmitting peer channel and a receiving peer channel, each channel having a channel gatekeeper, to transport a plurality of types of data packets each having a different priority and requesting an acknowledgment following the transmission of the data packets, a method for dynamically setting the retransmission timer value is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of waiting for the end of a channel burst for a user on the second channel, determining whether the user is requesting an acknowledgment, and determining the retransmission timer value using previous channel request statistics combined with current known gatekeeper information.
