Patent attributes
A packet data retransmission control method, where a base-station upper-level control system transmits downstream packet data, which is terminated at a terminal station, to a plurality of base stations. A specific base station that is one of the base stations transfers the downstream packet data to the terminal station. The plurality of base stations receive an upstream control signal with which reception of the downstream packet data is acknowledged and which is returned from the terminal station. Base stations other than the specific base station notify the specific base station via the base-station upper-level control system that they have received the upstream control signal. The specific base station determines packet data to be retransmitted according to the receiving situation thereof for the upstream control signal returned from the terminal station and the receiving situations of the other base stations for the upstream control signal.
