Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method of controlling a timeout event for a data packet transmission in a wireless communications network, and a node performing the method. In an aspect, a method of controlling a timeout event for a data packet transmission in a wireless communications network is provided, wherein a data packet retransmission timer initially is set to a timeout value indicating the maximum allowed round-trip time (RTT) for the data packet transmission and a timeout event occurs upon the retransmission timer expiring. The method includes observing the RTT for the data packet transmission over a connection in the network, increasing, upon the retransmission timer expiring before a measured value is available for the observed RTT, the timeout value for the retransmission timer, and determining whether a currently set timeout value for the retransmission timer is to be decreased or not.
