Abstract
Provided are a control method and device for a data packet duplication function, and a communication device. The control method for the data packet duplication function includes determining, by a communication device, to deactivate or activate a data packet duplication function; and performing, by the communication device, an operation of deactivating or activating the data packet duplication function correspondingly. Further provided is a storage medium.
Claims20
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- determining, by a user equipment operating in a dual-connectivity mode in which a radio bearer comprises a first radio link control (RLC) entity associated with a primary link connected to a first medium access control (MAC) entity and a second RLC entity associated with a secondary link connected to a second MAC entity, whether to deactivate or activate a data packet duplication function in response to a condition being satisfied;
- and
- deactivating or activating the data packet duplication function according to the determining, wherein the activating of the data packet duplication function comprises transmitting a data packet to the first RLC entity via the primary link and transmitting a duplicated data packet to the second RLC entity via the secondary link, and wherein the deactivating of the data packet duplication function comprises transmitting the data packet to the first RLC entity via the primary link only.
A device for wireless communication configured to operate in a dual-connectivity mode in which a radio bearer comprises a first radio link control (RLC) entity associated with a primary link connected to a first medium access control (MAC) entity and a second RLC entity associated with a secondary link connected to a second MAC entity, comprising a processor configured to:
- determine whether to deactivate or activate a data packet duplication function in response to a condition being satisfied;
- and
- deactivate or activate the data packet duplication function according to the determining, wherein activating of the data packet duplication function comprises transmitting a data packet to the first RLC entity via the primary link and transmitting a duplicated data packet to the second RLC entity via the secondary link, and wherein deactivating of the data packet duplication function comprises transmitting the data packet to the first RLC entity via the primary link only.
