Abstract
By adaptively relocating a transmitting point between a base station and a base station controller, e.g., an RNC, optimal ARQ performance is achieved. The adaptation may be based on one or more of many factors such as the distance between a network element and a user equipment. As one example, for a mobile radio near a base station, the transmitting point where the ARQ protocol terminated in the radio network is located in that base station so that ARQ packet retransmissions are performed quickly. For a mobile radio in or about to be in soft handover, the transmitting point where the ARQ protocol terminated in the radio network is located in a base station controller coupled to the base stations involved in (or soon will be involved in) soft handover so that robust ARQ packet retransmissions are provided.
