  • Patent number: 10652861
    Abstract: A method may include transmitting, by a user equipment, a data packet to a network entity. The method may further include starting, by the user equipment, a timer with a first value associated with the transmission to the network entity. The method may further include checking, by the user equipment, for feedback from the network entity associated with the transmission to the network entity. The method may further include determining, by the user equipment, that no feedback for the transmission has been received within the associated timer, or a negative acknowledgement has been received without the corresponding resource allocation for re-transmission. The method may further include in response to receiving no feedback associated with the transmission within the associated timer, or receiving a negative acknowledgement without the corresponding resource allocation for re-transmission, re-transmitting, by the user equipment, the data packet to the network entity.

  • Patent number: 10652782
    Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided a network node comprising means for performing the following. Initially, a trained machine learning algorithm for predicting a probability of failed delivery of data packets based on measurements is maintained in a database. The network node performs, for each of its wireless communication links, the following. The network node causes performing measurements relating to a first wireless communication link to form a measurement data set and predicts, using the trained machine learning algorithm and the measurement data set, a probability of failed delivery of a data packet over the first wireless communication link. The network node determines whether the probability of failed delivery of the data packet exceeds a threshold. If it does, the network node transmits to a first receiver the data packet over the first wireless communication link and one of a copy of the data packet and redundancy data.
