During operation each ACK/NAK feedback (200) comprises two fields (201-204). Each field corresponds to the status of previously-received data (e.g., slot, frame, TTI, . . . , etc.). In a first embodiment, field 1 corresponds to the current received data status, while field 2 corresponds to the previous received data status if a NAK misinterpretation error occurs. If the receiver detects no misinterpretation error, the second field is simply left blank. Because each ACK/NAK feedback will comprise the reception status of currently received data, and prior-received data, a transmitter has two chances to receive the NAK/ACK if a NAK misinterpretation error occurs.
