Abstract
A method for operating a receiving device includes receiving a first protocol data unit (PDU) of a first burst transmission, the first PDU includes a first transmission identifier (T_ID) associated with the first burst transmission, and the first PDU further includes a final PDU indication indicating that the first PDU is a final PDU of the first burst transmission, and releasing a first radio link control (RLC) resource associated with the first T_ID when the first RLC resource associated with the first T_ID exists.
Claims20
A method for operating a receiving device, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the receiving device, a first protocol data unit (PDU) of a first burst transmission, the first PDU including a first transmission identifier (T_ID) associated with the first burst transmission, and including an initial PDU indication indicating that the first PDU is an initial PDU of the first burst transmission;
- establishing, by the receiving device, a first radio link control (RLC) resource associated with the first T_ID of the first burst transmission;
- and
- receiving, by the receiving device at a different time than the first PDU, a second PDU of the first burst transmission, the second PDU including the first T_ID associated with the first burst transmission, and the second PDU further including a final PDU indication indicating that the second PDU is a final PDU of the first burst transmission.
A method for operating a transmitting device, the method comprising:
- establishing, by the transmitting device, a radio link control (RLC) resource associated with a transmission identifier (T_ID) of a burst transmission;
- sending, by the transmitting device, a first protocol data unit (PDU) of the burst transmission, the first PDU including the T_ID, and including an initial PDU indication indicating that the first PDU is an initial PDU of the burst transmission;
- sending, by the transmitting device at a different time than the first PDU, a second PDU of the burst transmission, the second PDU including the T_ID, and including a final PDU indication indicating that the second PDU is a final PDU of the burst transmission;
- and
- in response to not receiving an acknowledgement for the second PDU, resending, by the transmitting device, the second PDU of the burst transmission.
A receiving device comprising:
- a non-transitory memory storage comprising instructions;
- and
- one or more processors in communication with the non-transitory memory storage, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to:
- receive a first protocol data unit (PDU) of a first burst transmission, the first PDU includes a first transmission identifier (T_ID) associated with the first burst transmission, and including an initial PDU indication indicating that the first PDU is an initial PDU of the first burst transmission;
- establish a first radio link control (RLC) resource associated with the first T_ID of the first burst transmission;
- and
- receive, at a different time than the first PDU, a second PDU of the first burst transmission, wherein the second PDU includes the first T_ID associated with the first burst transmission, and wherein the second PDU further includes a final PDU indication indicating that the second PDU is a final PDU of the first burst transmission.
A transmitting device comprising:
- a non-transitory memory storage comprising instructions;
- and
- one or more processors in communication with the non-transitory memory storage, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to:
- establish a radio link control (RLC) resource associated with a transmission identifier (T_ID) of a burst transmission;
- send, by the transmitting device, a first protocol data unit (PDU) of the burst transmission, the first PDU including the T_ID, and including an initial PDU indication indicating that the first PDU is an initial PDU of the burst transmission;
- send, at a different time than the first PDU, a second PDU of the burst transmission, wherein the second PDU includes the T_ID, and includes a final PDU indication indicating that the second PDU is a final PDU of the burst transmission;
- and
- in response to not receiving an acknowledgement for second PDU, resend the second PDU of the burst transmission.
