Abstract

A method for minimizing feedback responses in an ARQ protocol is disclosed, whereby different mechanisms can be used to indicate erroneous D-PDUs and construct S-PDUs. The S-PDUs are constructed so as to optimize performance in accordance with certain criteria. One such criterion used is to minimize the size of the S-PDUs. A second such criterion used is to maximize the number of SNs included in an S-PDU of limited size.
