Abstract
A method of generating a buffer state of a packet data convergence protocol, hereinafter called PDCP, layer for a user equipment in a wireless communication system includes including volume information of packets, which have been submitted to a layer lower than the PDCP layer and have not been confirmed by the layer or by a PDCP status report, in a buffer state report of the PDCP layer, where the packets have not been confirmed by the layer due to buffer clearing of the layer.
Claims20
A method of generating a buffer status of a packet data convergence protocol, hereinafter called PDCP, layer for a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- including volume information of packets, which have been submitted to a layer lower than the PDCP layer and have not been confirmed by the layer due to buffer clearing of the layer, or have not been confirmed by a PDCP status report, in a buffer status report.
A communication device of a wireless communication system for accurately generating a buffer status of a packet data convergence protocol, hereinafter called PDCP, layer, the communication device comprising:
- a processor for processing storage data;
- a communication interfacing unit for exchanging signals with a peer communication device of the wireless communication system;
- a control unit coupled to the processor and communication interfacing unit, for controlling the communication interfacing unit and the communication device according to processing results of the processor;
- and
- a computer readable recording medium coupled to the processor, for storing the storage data;
- wherein the storage data comprises:
- program code for including volume information of packets, which have been submitted to a layer lower than the PDCP layer and have not been confirmed by the layer due to buffer clearing of the layer, or have not been confirmed by a PDCP status report, in a buffer status report.
