Abstract
A radio communication method is used in a mobile communication system, the method includes: generating, by a PDCP entity corresponding to a PDCP layer, a packet; transmitting, by a first transmission entity, the packet; and based on unsuccessful transmission of the packet by the first transmission entity, performing duplicate transmission of the packet, including: retransmitting, by the first transmission entity, the packet and transmitting, by a second transmission entity different from the first transmission entity, the packet. Each of the first transmission entity and the second transmission entity corresponds to a layer lower than the PDCP layer.
Claims15
A radio communication method used in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:
- generating, by a PDCP entity corresponding to a PDCP layer, a packet;
- transmitting, by a first transmission entity, the packet;
- and
- based on unsuccessful transmission of the packet by the first transmission entity, performing duplicate transmission of the packet, including:
- retransmitting, by the first transmission entity, the packet, and
- transmitting, by a second transmission entity different from the first
- transmission entity, the packet;
- wherein each of the first transmission entity and the second transmission entity corresponds to a layer lower than the PDCP layer.
An apparatus used in a mobile communication system, the apparatus comprising:
- a PDCP entity corresponding to a PDCP layer and configured to generate a packet;
- a first transmission entity configured to transmit the packet;
- and
- a second transmission entity different from the first transmission entity, wherein
- wherein each of the first transmission entity and the second transmission entity corresponds to a layer lower than the PDCP layer, and
- based on unsuccessful transmission of the packet by the first transmission entity, the first transmission entity is configured to retransmit the packet, and the second transmission entity is configured to transmit the packet to perform duplicate transmission of the same packet by the first transmission entity and the second transmission entity.
