A method for retransmitting data between two sides including a reception side
and
a transmission side in a mobile communication system including one or more mobile
stations and one or more radio networks includes the steps of: by the reception
side, storing data received from the transmission side in a first storage unit;
as a result of an error-checking procedure, if the data are erroneous, requesting
the transmission side to retransmit the data; by the transmission side, transmitting
to the reception side a first information related to retransmission and retransmitting
the requested data; by a combination unit included in the reception side, combining
the retransmitted data with the data stored in the first storage unit; if the combined
data are not erroneous, clearing the data and the retransmitted data from the first
storage unit and transmitting the combined data to a first upper layer included
in the reception side; and in response to an ACK signal from the reception side
representing that normal data are received, clearing by the transmission side the
retransmitted data from a second storage unit.
