  • Patent number: 11522646
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a transmitter circuitry, a receiver circuitry, and a processing circuitry. The transmitter circuitry transmits a first data frame including first data to a destination apparatus. The receiver circuitry receives first acknowledgment information indicative of a reception state of the first data included in the first data frame. The receiver circuitry receives second acknowledgment information indicative of a reception state of the first data included in a second data frame. The second data frame is transmitted from another electronic apparatus to the destination apparatus. The processing circuitry determines whether the first data frame is retransmitted, based on at least one of the first and second acknowledgment information.
