Abstract
A communication device (100) receives a first portion of an information packet via a primary communication resource (102). During a time period otherwise allocated for receiving a second portion of the information packet, the communication device (100) determines the signal quality of one or more other communication resources. The communication device then requests retransmission of the second portion of the information packet.
