In this paper, a method and apparatus for minimizing overhead in packet re-transmission in a communication system is presented, where each packet is given a sequence number, based on a current transmission rate, the size of the packet, and a previously assigned sequence number.
Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for minimizing overhead in packet re-transmission in a communication system. Each packet is given a sequence number, based on a current transmission rate, the size of the packet, and a previously assigned sequence number. The packet size can is adapted so that the entire packet fits into a single transmission block. The packet size may also be adapted based on throughput. The packet size may be adapted based on the transmission rate and/or throughput, whether the packet is being transmitted the first time or if it is being re-transmitted. Alternately, if the packet is being re-transmitted, the packet is transmitted at its original transmission rate, regardless of the current transmission rate.

Method and apparatus for communication control in a radiotelephone system

TL;DR: In this article, the control channel of each cell can be configured to broadcast absolute information about its cell and relative information about other cells including the characteristic of the cell, which is then used to lock a mobile unit to a preferred cell.
Patent

Adaptive data link protocol

TL;DR: In this paper, the state machine in each terminal can readily track the progress of each packet so as to request acknowledgement of error-free receipt, to send an acknowledgement, to request a retransmission of a packet designated by its serial number and to distinguish the retransmitted packet from an original packet transmitted with error.

System for placing packets on network for transmission from sending endnode to receiving endnode at times which are determined by window size and metering interval

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for controlling communications between end-nodes in a packet-switched computer network includes dynamic window sizing and dynamic packet metering, which is used to determine whether higher throughput is available at an increased window size, and avoids unnecessary decreases in window size after a packet is dropped or all available data has been transmitted.
