Abstract
Provided is a multi-layered transmission technique in which a signal indicating that a transmitted data packet has been correctly received by the receiver is provided from one communication layer to another. Based on that signal, the second layer releases the corresponding data from its retransmission buffer. As result, storage requirements for data waiting to be retransmitted, if necessary, often can be significantly reduced.
