ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a method for transmitting data between at least one transmitter and at least one receiver, in the form of packets of at least one data item, each of said packets being associated with an identifier of said packet, said receiver periodically sending a feedback message to said transmitter, comprising at least one bitmap block associated with a predetermined number of data packets having consecutive identifiers, so as to selectively inform said transmitter of a state of acknowledgement (acknowledged or unacknowledged) of each of said data packets of said block.According to the invention, this method comprises at least one step of associating at least one timer with at least some of said bitmap blocks.
