Abstract
Disclosed is a radio (wireless) communication system providing a radio communication service and a terminal, and more particularly, to a method of delivering a continuously and/or consecutively received Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) Service Data units (SDUs) to an upper layer immediately if a PDCP entity receives the PDCP SDUs during a process of a RLC re-establishment within an Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (E-UMTS) that has evolved from a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) or a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system.
Claims8
A data communication method in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a lower layer, a data unit having a sequence number;
- storing the received data unit in a buffer;
- checking whether the received data unit is received due to a radio link control (RLC) re-establishment;
- determining whether the sequence number of the received data unit is equal to a sequence number +1 from a sequence number of a last delivered data unit, if the received data unit is received due to the RLC re-establishment according to the checking step;
- and
- delivering, in ascending order, all stored data units with consecutively associated sequence numbers greater than or equal to the sequence number of the received data unit based on the determining step.
