A system for circumventing retransmission of dropped data packets from a source mobile station is envisaged. The source mobile station is coupled to a destination mobile station. The source mobile station and destination mobile station are coupled to a source eNodeB and a destination eNodeB respectively. The source eNodeB and the destination eNodeB are configured to interpret any No Acknowledgement (NACK) messages transmitted from the destination mobile station on account of non receipt of data packets transmitted from the source mobile station, and accordingly retransmit, from a buffered data packet pool, the data packets corresponding to the NACK messages. The source eNodeB and destination eNodeB prevent NACK messages from being retransmitted to the source mobile station thereby obviating the need for the source mobile station to retransmit dropped data packets, and rendering the source mobile station available for any subsequent data transfer operations.
