Abstract
A method combining data packets by a telecommunication device, whereby a first data packet comprising a first retransmission number being received by the telecommunication device on a telecommunication channel, the next data packet being received by the telecommunication device on the telecommunication channel is a second data packet comprising a second retransmission number at a delay time dt after the first data packet, whereby the delay time is determined by a number of retransmission time steps and the first and the second retransmission number is smaller than or equal to a maximum retransmission number, whereas in the case of the second retransmission number being smaller than the maximum retransmission number, the first and the second data packet are combined to a resulting data packet if the difference between the second and the first retransmission number is equal to the number of retransmission time steps.
