## Abstract

An operation method of a transmitting apparatus in a wireless communication system is provided. The operation method includes receiving a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) header configuration and a header compression configuration through higher layer signaling and when an SDAP entity receives first data from an upper layer, generating an SDAP header and transmitting second data obtained by adding the generated SDAP header to the first data to a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity, the generating and the transmitting being performed by the SDAP entity, performing, by the PDCP entity, header compression on an upper layer header of the second data, excluding the SDAP header, performing, by the PDCP entity, ciphering on data of the second data, excluding the SDAP header and generating a PDCP header and transmitting third data obtained by adding the generated PDCP header to the ciphered data to a lower layer, the generating and the transmitting being performed by the PDCP entity.

based on receiving first data including an upper layer header, generating, by a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) entity, second data by adding an SDAP header to the first data;
transmitting, to a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity by the SDAP entity, the second data;
generating third data by performing, by the PDCP entity, header compression on the upper layer header included in the second data, wherein the header compression is not applicable to the SDAP header;
generating fourth data with message authentication code for integrity (MAC-I) by performing, by the PDCP entity, integrity protection on the third data including the SDAP header and the header compressed upper layer header;
generating fifth data by performing, by the PDCP entity, ciphering on the fourth data except the SDAP header;
generating, by the PDCP entity, sixth data by adding a PDCP header to the fifth data; and
transmitting, to a lower layer by the PDCP entity, the sixth data.
