A method and apparatus for resolving ambiguity in reception of multiple retransmitted frames includes ascertaining for each data frame received from a transmitter whether the frame is a retransmitted frame. If the frame is a retransmitted frame, the frame may be stored in a resequencing buffer. If an abort timer associated with the second round of retransmission has been set for the retransmitted frame, an associated negative-acknowledgment-list (NAK-list) entry is not removed from a NAK list until the abort timer has expired. If the abort timer has not been set for the retransmitted frame, the associated NAK-list entry is removed from the NAK list. The method and apparatus may reside in a transport function in which a transmitter sends data frames to a receiver in accordance with the Radio Link Protocol interface. The transport function may reside in, e.g., a data-capable cellular or satellite-based base station and subscriber unit.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of detecting a delayed frame in a transport function wherein a plurality of frames are sent from a transmitter to a receiver, the method comprising the steps of: determining in the receiver a threshold value representing a maximum number of frames that could be missing; comparing in the receiver, for a received frame, a frame sequencing counter number with the threshold value, the frame sequencing counter number being derived from a header of the received frame; and detecting in the receiver the received frame as a delayed frame if the frame sequencing counter number exceeds the threshold value. 2. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the plurality of frames is sent in bundles of frames, each bundle including an equal number of frames, the frames within any bundle being sent simultaneously. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of processing a detected delayed frame as a retransmitted frame. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the transport function is a Radio Link Protocol interface. 5. An apparatus for detecting a delayed frame in a transport function wherein a plurality of frames are sent from a transmitter to a receiver, the apparatus comprising: means for determining a threshold value representing a maximum number of frames that could be missing; means for comparing, for a received frame, a frame sequencing counter number with the threshold value, the frame sequencing counter number being derived from a header of the received frame; and means for detecting the received frame as a delayed frame if the frame sequencing counter number exceeds the threshold value. 6. The apparatus as recited in claim 5, wherein the plurality of frames is sent in bundles of frames, each bundle including an equal number of frames, the frames within any bundle being sent simultaneously. 7. The apparatus of claim 5, further comprising means for processing a detected delayed frame as a retransmitted frame. 8. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the transport function is a Radio Link Protocol interface. 9. A data transmission system, comprising: a receiver coupled to a transmitter via an interface to receive data frames from a transmitter; and a controller coupled to the receiver to determine a threshold value proportional to a product of a number of frames within a bundle of frames and a maximum delay time in frame-length time increments between frames sent in the bundle of frames, the controller further to compare, for a received frame, a frame sequencing counter number with the threshold value, the frame sequencing counter number being derived from a header of the received frame and to detect the received frame as a delayed frame if the frame sequencing counter number exceeds the threshold value. 10. The data transmission system as recited in claim 9, wherein the plurality of frames is sent in bundles of frames, each bundle including an equal number of frames, the frames within any bundle being sent simultaneously. 11. The data transmission system of claim 9, wherein the controller is farther configured to process a detected delayed frame as a retransmitted frame. 12. The data transmission system of claim 9, wherein the transport function is a Radio Link Protocol interface. 13. A processor-readable medium including processor-executable instructions encoded thereon for performing a method of detecting a delayed frame in a transport function wherein a plurality of frames are sent from a transmitter to a receiver, the method comprising the steps of: determining a threshold value proportional to a product of a number of frames within a bundle of frames and a maximum delay time in frame-length time increments between frames sent in the bundle of frames; comparing, for a received frame, a frame sequencing counter number with the threshold value, the frame sequencing counter number being derived from a header of the received frame; and detecting the received frame as a delayed frame if the frame sequencing counter number exceeds the threshold value. 14. The processor-readable medium as recited in claim 13, wherein the plurality of frames is sent in bundles of frames, each bundle including an equal number of frames, the frames within any bundle being sent simultaneously. 15. The processor-readable medium of claim 13, further comprising processor-executable instructions encoded thereon for performing the step of processing a detected delayed frame as a retransmitted frame. 16. The processor-readable medium of claim 13, wherein the transport function is a Radio Link Protocol interface.
