Abstract
A transmitter node of a telecommunications system comprises interface circuitry and processor circuitry. The processor circuitry is configured to include a polling request in an obsolete packet indication message for an obsolete packet. The interface circuitry is configured to transmit the obsolete packet indication message over a radio interface to a receiver node of the telecommunications system. Methods of operating such nodes are also provided.

A transmitter node of a telecommunications system, the node comprising:
- processor circuitry configured to include a polling request in an obsolete packet indication message for an obsolete packet;
- and
- interface circuitry configured to transmit the obsolete packet indication message over a radio interface to a receiver node of the telecommunications system.
A method in a transmitter node of a telecommunications system, the method comprising:
- including a polling request in an obsolete packet indication message for an obsolete packet;
- and
- transmitting the obsolete packet indication message over a radio interface to a receiver node of the telecommunications system.
A receiver node of a telecommunications system, the node comprising:
- interface circuitry configured to receive an obsolete packet indication message over a radio interface from a transmitter node of the telecommunications system;
- processor circuitry configured to determine if a polling request is included in the obsolete packet indication message for an obsolete packet and to process the packet accordingly.
