Abstract
Data packet transmission involves transmitting a plurality of data packets from said first station to a second station at a first rate of transmission. Acknowledgement data is returned from the second station to the first station to acknowledge the receipt of data packets at the second station. Data packets that are not acknowledged are retransmitted from said first station to said second station. The first station monitors retransmit information indicating how many packets are retransmitted and adjusts said rate of transmission from said first rate to a second rate in response to an output of a control procedure that receives said retransmit information as an input.
