Abstract
In the present invention, a radio link control (RLC) entity of the receiving device receives an RLC service data unit (SDU) segment of a first RLC SDU. The RLC entity starts a first reassembly timer for the first RLC SDU if the RLC SDU segment of the first RLC SDU is the first one received for the first RLC SDU at the RLC entity. The receiving device uses a reassembly timer per RLC SDU segmented.
Claims10
A method for receiving a data unit by a receiving device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- starting, at a radio link control (RLC) entity of the receiving device, a reassembly timer based on an RLC service data unit (SDU) segment of a first RLC SDU;
- based on receiving, at the RLC entity, all RLC SDU segments of the first RLC SDU:
- reassembling the RLC SDU segments of the first RLC SDU into the first RLC SDU;
- delivering the first RLC SDU to an upper layer above the RLC entity;
- and
- stopping the reassembly timer;
- and
- based on (i) expiry of the reassembly timer and (ii) receiving, at the RLC entity, not all the RLC SDU segments of the first RLC SDU:
- discarding all received RLC SDU segments of the first RLC SDU.
A receiving device for receiving a data unit in a wireless communication system, the receiving device comprising:
- a transceiver;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing at least one program that causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
- starting, at a radio link control (RLC) entity, a reassembly timer based on an RLC service data unit (SDU) segment of a first RLC SDU;
- based on receiving, at the RLC entity, all RLC SDU segments of the first RLC SDU:
- reassembling the RLC SDU segments of the first RLC SDU into the first RLC SDU;
- delivering the first RLC SDU to an upper layer above the RLC entity;
- and
- stopping the reassembly timer;
- and
- based on (i) expiry of the reassembly timer and (ii) receiving, at the RLC entity, not all the RLC SDU segments of the first RLC SDU:
- discarding all received RLC SDU segments of the first RLC SDU.
