  • Patent number: 7707474
    Abstract: The invention proposes a method for controlling a variable of transmission between a mobile network element and a fixed network element, wherein the transmission is effected by repeatedly sending of data units, and a control of the variable of the transmission based on a target data unit error rate is performed, the method comprising the steps of detecting (S2), whether a received data unit includes an error, analyzing (S3), in case an error is detected, the transmission number of the data unit, detecting (S4), whether the analyzed diversity of the data unit is equal to a target transmission number, and forwarding (S5) the data unit to a network control element in case the transmission number of the data unit is equal to the target transmission number, or in case no error is detected. The invention also proposes a corresponding fixed network element and a corresponding network control element.
