Abstract
A method for a base station (BS) operating in a wireless communication system, the method includes transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), first information indicating a threshold value for an uplink data split operation; and receiving a buffer status report (BSR) from the UE, wherein a value of a buffer size in the BSR is determined based on second information that indicates an amount of data available for transmission for a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity of the UE when the amount of the data available for transmission is larger than the threshold value.
Claims12
A method performed by a user equipment (UE) operating in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving a threshold value related to packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) data volume which is indicated to first and second medium access control (MAC) entities;
- determining uplink data volume that comprises the PDCP data volume indicating an amount of data that is available for transmission at a PDCP entity of the UE;
- and
- based on the received threshold value:
- indicating, to the first MAC entity of the UE, the PDCP data volume;
- and
- indicating, to the second MAC entity of the UE, “0” as the PDCP data volume.
A user equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
- at least one radio-frequency, RF, module;
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- controlling the at least one RF module to receive a threshold value related to packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) data volume which is indicated to first and second medium access control (MAC) entities;
- determining uplink data volume that comprises the PDCP data volume indicating an amount of data that is available for transmission at a PDCP entity of the UE;
- and
- based on the received threshold value:
- indicating, to the first MAC entity of the UE, the PDCP data volume;
- and
- indicating, to the second MAC entity of the UE, “0” as the PDCP data volume.
