Abstract
A method and apparatus for time-efficient confirmed group data acknowledgement includes a radio subscriber unit (SU) configured to (i) generate a receive status message comprising a first synchronization pattern indicating successful receipt of a set of data blocks when the SU has successfully received the set of data blocks from a base radio, (ii) generate a receive status message comprising a second synchronization pattern indicating unsuccessful receipt of a set of data blocks when the SU has not successfully received the set of data blocks from the base radio, and (iii) transmit the generated receive status message from the SU to the base radio during an uplink transmit time interval assigned by the base radio.
