Abstract
A machine-implemented method for controlling retry of unicast data packet transmission from a transmitter node to a receiver node comprises selecting a receiver node from a set of receiver nodes having different processing delays; transmitting a first unicast data packet to the receiver node; establishing a delay, at the transmitter node, for an expected acknowledgement wait duration; receiving, at the transmitter node, an acknowledgement packet from the receiver node; responsive to an actual acknowledgement wait duration being less than the expected duration, setting the expected duration to a new expected duration comprising at least the actual wait duration; transmitting a second unicast data packet to the receiver node; establishing a delay, at the transmitter node, for the new expected duration; and responsive to expiry of the new expected duration without receipt of an acknowledgement packet from the receiver node, retrying transmitting the second unicast data packet.
