Base station, mobile station, communication system, transmission method and reordering method
A radio communication system, that includes a source base station; a target base station; and a mobile station for receiving either first sequence number or second sequence number, or both of the first and second sequence numbers from the target base station, whereby the first sequence number is transferred from the source base station to the target base station and the second sequence number is added to PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) SDU (Service Data Unit) which is transferred from the source base station to the target base station.
1. A radio communication system, comprising:
a source base station;
a target base station; and
a mobile station for receiving a first sequence number or both the first sequence number and a second sequence number from the target base station, wherein the first sequence number is transferred from the source base station to the target base station without (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) PDCP (Service Data Unit) SDU and the second sequence number is transferred from the source base station to the target base station with PDCP SDU,
wherein the target base station comprises:
a control circuitry configured to add the first sequence number to a first PDCP SDU which is received from a host station and add the second sequence number to a second PDCP SDU which is received from the source base station; and
a transmitter configured to transmit, to the mobile station, the first PDCP SDU with the first sequence number and the second PDCP SDU with the second sequence number.
2. The radio communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the source base station comprises:
a transmitter configured to transmit the first sequence number via a control plane from the source base station to the target base station; and
the PDCP SDU on which the second sequence number is attendant via a user plane from the source base station to the target base station.
3. A mobile station comprising:
a receiver configured to receive from a target base station, a first (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) PDCP (Service Data Unit) SDU which is created by adding a first sequence number transferred from a source base station to the target base station without PDCP SDU, to the first PDCP SDU received from a host station or both the first PDCP SDU and a second PDCP SDU which is created by adding a second sequence number transferred from the source base station to the target base station with a PDCP SDU, to the second PDCP SDU received from the source base station; and
a reordering circuitry configured to perform reordering of the PDCP SDUs received from the target base station using the first and second PDCP SDUs with the sequence numbers.
4. A base station, comprising:
a buffer configured to receive a first sequence number, or both the first sequence number and a second sequence number from a source base station, wherein the first sequence number is transferred without (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) PDCP (Service Data Unit) SDU and the second sequence number is transferred with PDCP SDU;
a control circuitry configured to add the first sequence number to a first PDCP SDU received from a host station and add the second sequence number to a second PDCP SDU received from the source base station; and
a transmitter configured to transmit, to a mobile station, the first PDCP SDU with the first sequence number or both the first PDCP SDU with the first sequence number and the second PDCP SDU with the second sequence number.
