METHOD FOR REDUCING UNNECESSARY RETRANSMISSION DUE TO DELAYED TRANSMISSION IN WIRELESS NETWORK AND COMMUNICATION DEVICE USING THE SAME

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for reducing unnecessary retransmission due to transmission delays in a wireless network, and a communication device using the same. PSOLUTION: The method includes steps of: measuring a packet inter-arrival time with respect to a received data packet; transmitting an acknowledgement packet corresponding to the data packet received at the packet inter-arrival time in excess of a first threshold time when the measured packet inter-arrival time exceeds the first threshold time; and suspending transmission of an acknowledgement packet corresponding to a new data packet when a data packet received after transmission of the acknowledgement packet is the new data packet that is not previously received.
