Abstract
A communication device (106) transmits a data packet at a first transmission time or during a first transmission time period to a data controller (116). The data controller determines an earliest transmission time or time period of data packets to be acknowledged and transmits an indication that only data packets transmitted after the earliest transmission time or time period will be acknowledged. The communication device then determines whether the data controller is indicating that only data packets transmitted after the first transmission time or time period will be acknowledged. When the data controller is indicating that only data packets transmitted after the first transmission time or time period will be acknowledged, the communication device retransmits at least a portion of the data packet and thereby performs timerless error recovery.
