Method for performing uplink packet delay measurements in a wireless communication system and a device therefor
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and a device for performing UL packet delay measurement in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: checking whether a value of queuing delay of a PDCP SDU is above a threshold, and generating and transmitting a PDCP PDU including the PDCP SDU and a time stamp for the PDCP SDU, if the value of the queuing delay is above the threshold, wherein a value of the time stamp for the PDCP SDU is set to a time when the PDCP SDU is received from the upper layer.
1. A method for a user equipment (UE) operating in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
checking whether a value of queuing delay of a packet data convergence protocol service data unit (PDCP SDU) is above a threshold; and
generating and transmitting a PDCP protocol data unit (PDU) including the PDCP SDU and a time stamp for the PDCP SDU, when the value of the queuing delay is above the threshold,
wherein a value of the time stamp for the PDCP SDU is set to a time when the PDCP SDU is received from an upper layer,
wherein the PDCP PDU includes a data/control (D/C) field, a PDCP sequence number (SN) field and a data field, and
wherein only the data field except the D/C field, the PDCP SN field and the time stamp in the PDCP PDU is ciphered.
2. The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the queuing delay is a time difference between a time point when the PDCP SDU is received from the upper layer and a time point when the PDCP SDU is submitted to a lower layer.
3. The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the PDCP PDU does not include the time stamp the value of the queuing delay is lower than or equal to the threshold.
4. The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the time stamp is represented by using subframe number, radio frame number, or absolute time.
5. The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the time stamp is included at beginning of the PDCP PDU, at a position between the D/C field and the PDCP SN field of the PDCP PDU, at a position between the PDCP SN field and the data field of the PDCP PDU, or at end of the PDCP PDU.
6. A User Equipment (UE) for operating in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a Radio Frequency (RF) module; and
a processor operably coupled with the RF module and configured to:
check whether a value of queuing delay of a packet data convergence protocol service data unit (PDCP SDU) is above a threshold; and
generate and transmit a PDCP protocol data unit (PDU) including the PDCP SDU and a time stamp for the PDCP SDU, when the value of the queuing delay is above the threshold,
wherein a value of the time stamp for the PDCP SDU is set to a time when the PDCP SDU is received from an upper layer,
wherein the PDCP PDU includes a data/control (D/C) field, a PDCP sequence number (SN) field and a data field, and
wherein only the data field except the D/C field, the PDCP SN field and the time stamp in the PDCP PDU is ciphered.
7. The UE according to claim 6 ,
wherein the queuing delay is a time difference between a time point when the PDCP SDU is received from the upper layer and a time point when the PDCP SDU is submitted to a lower layer.
8. The UE according to claim 6 ,
wherein the PDCP PDU does not include the time stamp the value of the queuing delay is lower than or equal to the threshold.
9. The UE according to claim 6 ,
wherein the time stamp is represented by using subframe number, radio frame number, or absolute time.
10. The UE according to claim 6 ,
wherein the time stamp is included at beginning of the PDCP PDU, at a position between the D/C field and the PDCP SN field of the PDCP PDU, at a position between the PDCP SN field and the data field of the PDCP PDU, or at end of the PDCP PDU.
