ARQ Sessions

An ARQ Session represents a reliable data transmission session from a sending station (A) to a receiving station (B). It uses automatic repeat request on top of different codec2 modes according to the transmission channel conditions.

So lets say A wants to send some data to B. A typical scenario would be like this:

ISS->(1)IRS:<datac13> OPEN_REQ(session id, origin, dest)
IRS->(1)ISS:<datac13> OPEN_ACK (session id, proto version, speed level, frames, snr)

ISS->(1)IRS:<datac13> INFO(id, total_bytes, total_crc)
IRS->(1)ISS:<datac13> INFO_ACK(id, total_crc)

ISS->(1)IRS:BURST (ID, offset, payload),(ID, offset, payload),(ID, offset, payload)
IRS->(1)ISS:BURST_ACK (ID, next_offset, speed level, frames, snr)

ISS-->(1)IRS:Lost BURST (total or part)
IRS->(1)ISS:BURST_NACK (ID, next_offset, speed level, frames, snr)

ISS->(1)IRS:BURST (ID, offset, payload),(ID, offset, payload),(ID, offset, payload)
IRS->(1)ISS:DATA ACK NACK (ID, next_offset, speed level, frames, snr)
