Abstract

Selected data packets that were broadcast over millimeter microwave frequencies to millimeter microwave receiving stations in a millimeter microwave broadcasting system footprint are rebroadcast. Rebroadcasting is selected based upon an indication that is received from a subset of the millimeter microwave receiving stations, that the one or more data packets were not received successfully by the subset of the millimeter microwave receiving stations. Selective rebroadcasting may be performed based upon statistical analysis of indications that are received from the subset of the millimeter microwave receiving stations.
