Abstract

A wireless communication system in which retransmission is performed between a transmitting apparatus and a receiving apparatus, whereby the transmitting apparatus includes, a first transmitting unit to transmit first data to the receiving apparatus and retransmission controlling unit to perform transmission of second data, the data part of which is same as that of the first data, without waiting for a feedback signal from receiving apparatus regarding the first data, and to wait for a feedback signal from the receiving apparatus regarding the second data, and the receiving apparatus includes, a second transmitting unit to transmit the feedback signal regarding the second data to the transmitting apparatus.

Claims (55)

1. A wireless communication system comprising:

a transmitting apparatus; and

a receiving apparatus, wherein

the transmitting apparatus transmits first data to the receiving apparatus,

the transmitting apparatus performs transmission of second data, data part of which is same as that of the first data, without waiting for a first feedback signal from any receiving apparatus regarding the first data,

the transmitting apparatus does not perform retransmission of the first data when the transmitting apparatus receives the first feedback signal regarding the first data and waits for a second feedback signal regarding the second data, and

the receiving apparatus transmits the second feedback signal regarding the second data to the transmitting apparatus.

2. The wireless communication system according to claim 1 , wherein

the transmitting apparatus performs transmission of the second data without waiting for a negative acknowledgement (NACK) signal regarding the first data, and waits for an acknowledgement (ACK) signal or a NACK signal regarding the second data, and

the receiving apparatus transmits the ACK signal or the NACK signal regarding the second data to the transmitting apparatus.

3. The wireless communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitting apparatus performs retransmission of the first data according to reception of the second feedback signal regarding the second data.

4. A retransmission method for use in a wireless communication system in which retransmission is performed between a transmitting apparatus and a receiving apparatus, the retransmission method comprising:

transmitting first data from the transmitting apparatus to the receiving apparatus;

performing, by the transmitting apparatus, transmission of second data, the data part of which is same as that of the first data, without waiting for a first feedback signal from any receiving apparatus regarding the first data, and waiting for a second feedback signal regarding the second data; and

transmitting the second feedback signal regarding the second data to the transmitting apparatus,

wherein the transmitting apparatus does not perform retransmission of the first data when the transmitting apparatus receives the first feedback signal regarding the first data.

5. The retransmission method according to claim 4 , wherein

the transmitting apparatus performs transmission of the second data without waiting for a negative acknowledgement (NACK) signal regarding the first data, and wait for an acknowledgement (ACK) signal or the NACK signal regarding the second data, and

the receiving apparatus transmits the ACK signal or a NACK signal regarding the second data to the transmitting apparatus.

6. The retransmission method according to claim 4 , further comprising performing, by the transmitting apparatus, retransmission of the first data according to reception of the second feedback signal regarding the second data.

7. A wireless communication system comprising:

a transmitting apparatus; and

a receiving apparatus, wherein

the transmitting apparatus transmits first data to the receiving apparatus,

the transmitting apparatus performs transmission of second data, data part of which is same as that of the first data, without waiting for a first feedback signal from any receiving apparatus regarding the first data,

the transmitting apparatus does not perform retransmission of the first data when the transmitting apparatus receives a first feedback signal regarding the first data and waits for a second feedback signal regarding the second data, and

the receiving apparatus transmits the second feedback signal regarding the second data to the transmitting apparatus.

8. The wireless communication system according to claim 7 , wherein

the transmitting apparatus performs transmission of the second data, and waits for an acknowledgement (ACK) signal or a negative acknowledgement (NACK) signal regarding the second data, and

the receiving apparatus transmits the ACK signal or the NACK signal regarding the second data to the transmitting apparatus.

9. The wireless communication system according to claim 7 , wherein the transmitting apparatus performs retransmission of the first data according to reception of the second feedback signal regarding the second data.

10. A retransmission method for use in a wireless communication system in which retransmission is performed between a transmitting apparatus and a receiving apparatus, the retransmission method comprising:

transmitting first data from the transmitting apparatus to the receiving apparatus;

performing, by the transmitting apparatus, transmission of second data, data part of which is same as that of the first data without waiting for a first feedback signal from any receiving apparatus regarding the first data, and waiting for a second feedback signal regarding the second data; and

transmitting the second feedback signal regarding the second data to the transmitting apparatus,

wherein the transmitting apparatus does not perform retransmission of the first data when the transmitting apparatus receives a first feedback signal regarding the first data.

11. The retransmission method according to claim 10 , wherein

the transmitting apparatus performs transmission of the second data, and waits for an acknowledgement (ACK) signal or a negative acknowledgement (NACK) signal regarding the second data, and

the receiving apparatus transmits the ACK signal or the NACK signal regarding the second data to the transmitting apparatus.

12. The retransmission method according to claim 10 , further comprising:

performing, by the transmitting apparatus, retransmission of the first data according to reception of the second feedback signal regarding the second data.

13. A wireless communication system comprising:

a transmitting apparatus; and

a receiving apparatus, wherein

the transmitting apparatus transmits first data to the receiving apparatus,

the transmitting apparatus performs transmission of second data which is retransmission of the first data without waiting for a first feedback signal from any receiving apparatus regarding the first data, and receives only a second feedback signal transmitted regarding the second data, and

the receiving apparatus transmits the second feedback signal regarding the second data to the transmitting apparatus,

the transmitting apparatus does not perform retransmission of the first data based on a first feedback signal regarding the first data.

14. A wireless communication system in which retransmission is performed between a transmitting apparatus and a receiving apparatus, comprising:

the transmitting apparatus; and

the receiving apparatus, wherein

the transmitting apparatus includes a first transmitting unit to transmit first data to the receiving apparatus,

the transmitting apparatus includes a retransmission controlling unit to perform transmission of second data which is retransmission of the first data without receiving a first feedback signal from any receiving apparatus regarding the first data, and receive a second feedback signal regarding the second data, and

the receiving apparatus includes a second transmitting unit to transmit the second feedback signal regarding the second data to the transmitting apparatus, and

the retransmission controlling unit does not perform retransmission of the first data based on the first feedback signal regarding the first data.
