Abstract
A communications apparatus includes a radio transceiver and a processor. The radio transceiver receives a plurality of feedback messages from a peer device. The feedback messages are transmitted by the peer device to indicate a result of UL data transmission. The processor analyzes content of the feedback messages to determine a preferred retransmission type of the peer device and records the preferred retransmission type of the peer device in a memory device. When the radio transceiver receives a first UL grant message indicating transmission of a first UL data and the processor determines that a forthcoming first feedback message corresponding to the transmission of the first UL data is unable to be received, the processor determines whether to retransmit the first UL data according to the preferred retransmission type of the peer device.
