Method and device for retransmission processing

A device for retransmission processing, the device being a transmission side, the device comprising:

• a first transmitter, configured to transmit a detection indication to a receiving side, the detection indication being used to indicate the receiving side to feed back a receiving state of a plurality of Acknowledged Mode Data (AMD) Protocol Data Units (PDU) sent by the transmission side;
• a processor, configured to set a first value to a value equal to a maximum Sequence Number (SN) in SNs of the plurality of AMD PDUs;
• and a receiver, configured to receive a state report sent by the receiving side, the state report being used to indicate a receiving state of at least one AMD PDU of the plurality of AMD PDUs;
• wherein the processor;
• is further configured to stop, responsive to that an SN a first AMD PDU of the at least one AMD PDU is equal to the first value, transmitting the detection indication for the plurality of AMD PDUs to the receiving side, wherein a packet header of a second AMD PDU of the plurality of AMD PDUs comprises the detection indication, and the device further comprises:
• a detection retransmission timer, configured to be started or restarted, after the transmission side delivers the second AMD PDU from a Radio Link Control, RLC, layer to a Media Access Control, MAC, layer;
• wherein the first transmitter is further configured to:
• continue, responsive to that the SN of each of the at least one AMD PDU is not equal to the first value, to transmit the detection indication for the plurality of AMD PDUs to the receiving side for a duration of the detection retransmission timer.

A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:

• transmitting, by a transmission side, a detection indication to a receiving side, the detection indication being used to indicate the receiving side to feed back a receiving state of a plurality of Acknowledged Mode Data (AMD) Protocol Data Units (PDU) sent by the transmission side;
• setting, by the transmission side, a first value to a value equal to a maximum Sequence Number (SN) in SNs of the plurality of AMD PDUs;
• receiving, by the transmission side, a state report sent by the receiving side, the state report being used to indicate a receiving state of at least one AMD PDU of the plurality of AMD PDUs;
• and
• responsive to that an SN of a first AMD PDU of the at least one AMD PDU is equal to the first value, stopping, by the transmission side, transmitting the detection indication for the plurality of AMD PDUs to the receiving side;
• wherein a packet header of a second AMD PDU of the plurality of AMD PDUs comprises the detection indication, and the method further comprises:
• after the transmission side delivers the second AMD PDU from a Radio Link Control (RLC) layer to a Media Access Control (MAC) layer, starting or restarting, by the transmission side, a detection retransmission timer;
• wherein the method further comprises:
• responsive to that the SN of none of the at least one AMD PDU is equal to the first value, continuing, by the transmission side, to transmit the detection indication for the plurality of AMD PDUs to the receiving side for a duration of the detection retransmission timer.
