Methods and apparatuses for providing header compression protocol reset

(canceled)

7-10. (canceled)

A method performed by a base station for performing Packet Data Convergence Protocol, PDCP, entity re-establishment, wherein the base station is acting as a PDCP receiving entity, the method comprising:

• receiving a request to perform PDCP entity re-establishment;
• responsive to the request, resetting a header compression protocol by discarding any contexts associated with the header compression protocol, and
• refraining from transmitting feedback associated with the header compression protocol to a PDCP transmitting entity.

The method as in claim 13, wherein the step of refraining from transmitting comprises discarding any feedback associated with the header compression protocol that was generated prior to receiving the request to perform PDCP entity re-establishment and that had not yet been transmitted to the PDCP transmitting entity.

A wireless device for performing Packet Data Convergence Protocol, PDCP, entity re-establishment, wherein the wireless device is acting as a Packet Data Convergence Protocol, PDCP, receiving entity, the wireless device configured to:

• receive a request to perform PDCP entity re-establishment;
• responsive to the request, reset a header compression protocol by discarding any contexts associated with the header compression protocol, and
• refrain from transmitting feedback associated with the header compression protocol to a PDCP transmitting entity.
