A system and method for transmission control by an access device in a wireless communication system including a plurality of receiving devices, including receiving, from a super ordinate device, first transmission data for transmission to a subscriber device, wherein the access device communicates with the plurality of receiving devices, and the subscriber device is one of the plurality of receiving devices. The system and method further include transmitting the first transmission data to the subscriber device, and generating, by the access device, a first access receipt indicator corresponding to the first transmission data. In addition, the system and method include sending the first access receipt indicator to the super ordinate device, and retransmitting, if the access device does not receive a first subscriber receipt indicator from the subscriber device indicating that the first transmission data is received by the subscriber device, one or more portions of the first transmission data to the subscriber device. The system and method further include receiving, by the access device, second transmission data for transmission to the subscriber device, generating, by the access device, a second access receipt indicator corresponding to the second transmission data, and sending the second access receipt indicator to the super ordinate device. Further, the system and method include retransmitting, if the access device does not receive a second subscriber receipt indicator from the subscriber device indicating that all of the second transmission data is received by the subscriber device, one or more portions of the second transmission data to the subscriber device.
