1. A method, comprising:
transmitting information between a sender and a receiver using packets for information transmission, wherein the receipt of transmitted packets is acknowledged to the sender, and unacknowledged packets are retransmitted from the sender;
detecting one of an amount of transmitted unacknowledged information and a number of consecutive unacknowledged packets;
determining a reason for information or packet loss based on the amount of transmitted unacknowledged information or the number of consecutive unacknowledged packets;
adjusting transmission parameters by the sender, depending on whether the determined reason is a bit error rate or congestion;
the sender enabling bundling wherein information is bundled in a packet;
checking whether bundling is enabled; and
changing a determining parameter to determine the reason for information or packet loss depending on whether or not bundling is enabled.
