Abstract:
System including a gateway, a non-terrestrial node, a terrestrial node and at least a user equipment and a HARQ controller, the gateway being configured to forward a data packet, the data packet to be transmitted to the user equipment, to the non-terrestrial node, the non-terrestrial node being configured to forward the received data packet to the user equipment using a signal, the user equipment being configured to analyze the received data packet regarding a transmission error and/or to analyze the signal from the non-terrestrial node regarding a signal quality and to generate a negative acknowledgment command or an acknowledgement command dependent on the transmission error or to generate another signal indicating the reception signal quality dependent on the reception signal quality, the user equipment being configured to transmit the acknowledgement command and the non-acknowledgement command or the other signal to the terrestrial node communicating with the non-terrestrial node.
