ABSTRACT:
In a network wherein all the receive stations connected to a radio link or a bus type wire link are capable of observing information which is being transmitted over the link, a method of allowing each receive station to send back a repeat request signal in multi-station packet communication in which a single transmit station transmits the same message to a plurality of receive stations. The same number of frequencies as packets are used so that a sinusoidal wave having a particular one of the frequencies which is associated with a packet with an error is sent. Alternatively, the same number of time slots as packets are set up so that a burst signal is sent as a repeat request signal in a particular one of the time sots which is associated with information on a packet with an error. Utilizing the fact that the signals to be sent are repeat request signals, the method insures accurate delivery of retransmit request information to the transmit station even if repeat request signals sent back at the same time are in a conflict.
