Abstract

A method for improving uplink transmission rate in a wireless communication device is provided. The wireless communication device can include a first logical layer and a second logical layer. The method can include the wireless communication device decoding, at the first logical layer, a first acknowledgement status of a transmitted data unit. The method can further include the wireless communication device determining, at the first logical layer, a second acknowledgement status of the data unit, which can be an acknowledgement status of the data unit at the second logical layer. The method can additionally include the wireless communication device determining, at the first logical layer, whether to retransmit the data unit based at least in part on both the first acknowledgement status of the data unit and the second acknowledgement status of the data unit.
