Radio link control unacknowledged mode sequence number continuity across component carriers

A receiver device for wireless communication, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories, the one or more processors individually or collectively configured to:
• receive segments of a radio link control (RLC) unacknowledged mode (UM) packet associated with an RLC UM sequence number (SN);
• and
• deliver the RLC UM packet without starting a reassembly timer associated with a gap between the RLC UM SN and a previous RLC UM SN, associated with a previously received RLC UM packet, in connection with the segments of the RLC UM packet being received via a component carrier (CC), of a plurality of CCs, different from a CC via which the previously received RLC UM packet was received, and in connection with a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) SN included in the RLC UM packet being a next expected PDCP SN.

A receiver device for wireless communication, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to cause the receiver device to:
• receive segments of a radio link control (RLC) unacknowledged mode (UM) packet associated with an RLC UM sequence number (SN);
• and
• deliver the RLC UM packet without starting a reassembly timer in connection with detection, using an artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) (AI/ML) model, that a gap between the RLC UM SN and a previous RLC UM SN, associated with a previously received RLC UM packet, corresponds to an RLC UM SN jump across different component carriers (CCs) of a plurality of CCs.
