In a network utilizing a transmitting peer channel and a receiving peer channel, each channel having a channel gatekeeper, to transport a plurality of types of data packets each having a different priority and requesting an acknowledgment following the transmission of the data packets, a method for dynamically setting the retransmission timer value is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of waiting for the end of a channel burst for a user on the second channel, determining whether the user is requesting an acknowledgment, and determining the retransmission timer value using previous channel request statistics combined with current known gatekeeper information.

A method for the seamless switching of a wireless device between wireless wide area networks (WWANs) and wireless local area networks (WLANs) includes automatically detecting the available WWANs and WLANs, selecting one of the available networks for use by the wireless device, and connecting the wireless device to the selected network. The method also includes maintaining the network connection by monitoring the connection and, upon determining that the connection has been lost, selecting a another available network for use and connecting the wireless device the other network. Additionally, the method communicates information about the availability networks and connection status to a user of the wireless device, which allows the user to manually switch the wireless device connection from the automatically selected available network to another available network. Further, a wireless device implements the above described method.
