Abstract

A method is provided for transmitting data from a transmitting device ( 121 ) to a receiving device ( 125 ). The transmitting device transmits a first data frame ( 200 ) to a receiving device a first time ( 310 0 ). Then it consecutively transmits the first data frame to the receiving device second through N th times ( 310 1 - 310 N ), each of second through N th first data frame transmissions being made a first predetermined time period ( 350 ) after a respective previous first data frame transmission. After this, the transmitting device transmits a second data frame ( 200 ) to the receiving device a second predetermined time period ( 360 ) after the N th first data frame transmission. In this method, N is an integer greater than 1, and the second predetermined time period is less than the first predetermined time period.

Claims (16)

1. A method of transmitting data from a transmitting device, comprising:

consecutively transmitting a first data frame to a receiving device N times using an immediate acknowledgment policy;

transmitting a first data frame to a receiving device using a no acknowledgment policy after consecutively transmitting the first data frame to the receiving device N times using the immediate acknowledgment policy;

transmitting a second data frame to the receiving device using an immediate acknowledgment policy after transmitting the first data frame to the receiving device using the no acknowledgment policy,

wherein N is an integer greater than 0.

2. A method of transmitting data from a transmitting device, as recited in claim 1 , wherein N is a maximum number of retry attempts allowed for a single data frame.

3. A method of transmitting data from a transmitting device, as recited in claim 1 , further comprising determining whether an acknowledgment frame has been received from the receiver device each time the first data frame is transmitted using an immediate acknowledgement policy.

4. A method of transmitting data from a transmitting device, as recited in claim 1 , wherein the transmitting device is one of: an IEEE 802.11 compliant device and an IEEE 802.15.3 compliant device.

5. A device for transmitting, comprising:

means for consecutively transmitting a first data frame to a receiving device N times using an immediate acknowledgment policy;

means for transmitting a first data frame to a receiving device using a no acknowledgment policy after consecutively transmitting the first data frame to the receiving device N times using the immediate acknowledgment policy;

means for transmitting a second data frame to the receiving device using an immediate acknowledgment policy after transmitting the first data frame to the receiving device using the no acknowledgment policy,

wherein N is an integer greater than 0.

6. A device for transmitting data, as recited in claim 5 , wherein N is a maximum number of retry attempts allowed for a single data frame.

7. A device for transmitting data, as recited in claim 5 , further comprising means for determining whether an acknowledgment frame has been received from the receiver device each time the first data frame is transmitted using an immediate acknowledgement policy.

8. A device for transmitting data, as recited in claim 5 , wherein the device for transmitting is one of: an IEEE 802.11 compliant device and an IEEE 802.15.3 compliant device.
