Abstract
The present invention is a method for scheduling of plural packet data flows transmitted via a single transmission resource, wherein each data flow uses a retransmission scheme providing for retransmission of packet data of a respective flow for which a positive acknowledgment of delivery of packet data to a destination was not obtained. The method includes allocating one of the plural data flows to the single transmission resource for transmission, the data flow comprising a number of data packets, first detecting that a number of data packets has been transmitted via the transmission resource, and in response thereto, generating an acknowledgment message including the acknowledgment status of each of number of data packets and allocating another one of the plural data flows to the single transmission resource.
