A first communication device (e.g., 103), which includes an unsuccessful transmission attempt counter (203) and an information transmitter (207), provides information to a second communication device (e.g., 105) in the following manner. The first communication device transmits information to the second communication device. The first communication device then determines whether the second communication device received at least a portion of the information. When the second communication device has not received at least the portion of the information to produce an unsuccessful transmission attempt, the first communication device determines whether a quantity of unsuccessful transmission attempts is less than a first threshold value. When the quantity of unsuccessful transmission attempts is less than the first threshold value, the first communication device retransmits the information to the second communication device. Otherwise, the first communication device queues or terminates transmission of the information.
