Abstract
A method for handling data transmission errors in a wireless communication network includes receiving a first data from a first node at a second node using a data transmission protocol having a first slot for transmitting the first data. The first slot includes a plurality of bits and a first slot header comprising an acknowledgment request for at least one group of bits. The method also includes evaluating the first set of data for errors and generating a second slot using the data transmission protocol. The second slot includes at least a second slot header comprising acknowledgement data in response to the acknowledgement request. The acknowledgement data has a structure based on a Forward Error Correction (FEC) protocol block size. The second slot is then transmitted to the first node.
