The System Counters give you statistical information on the quality of communications with the terminal equipment (LIU side) and with the other end of the wireless link (Radio side). The data stream received/transmitted from/to the 2.048Mbps Wireless Modems is divided internally in the 2.048Mbps Wireless Modem into buffers, and the statistics are based on these buffers. The data is accumulated continuously until the System Counters are cleared. Thus, the numbers represent the accumulated results since the last time the counters were Cleared. The 2.048Mbps Wireless Modem uses an Automatic Retransmission Queuing (ARQ) mechanism that enables to detect errors in the received data and to request retransmission of that data. The ARQ mechanism breaks the data into fragments (called buffers) and adds a Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC) code which enables detection of errors in the received fragment. A header providing unique identification as well as Acknowledge/Not Acknowledge response is attached to each fragment.
