Abstract

A method of operating a terminal in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes obtaining, from a radio link control (RLC) entity associated with a cell group of the terminal, information about a number of retransmissions of a packet, identifying whether packet duplication is activated, based on information indicating that the number of retransmissions of the packet reaches a maximum number of retransmissions of the packet, and transmitting, to a base station, a message indicating a failure of retransmission of the packet, based on a result of the identifying.

Claims (32)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

identifying that a maximum number of retransmissions associated with a radio link control (RLC) entity is reached;

identifying that at least one allowed cell for a logical channel associated with the RLC entity does not include a primary cell;

identifying whether a packet duplication is activated; and

transmitting, to a base station, failure related information associated with the RLC entity in case that the packet duplication is activated,

wherein a radio link failure (RLF) for a cell group associated with the RLC entity is identified in case that the packet duplication is deactivated, and

wherein the failure related information associated with the RLC entity includes information on an identity (ID) of the logical channel associated with the RLC entity and information on a cell group associated with the RLC entity.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cell group associated with the RLC entity includes at least one of a master cell group (MCG) or a secondary cell group (SCG).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying of whether the packet duplication is activated comprises identifying whether the packet duplication has been activated continuously since a packet was initially transmitted until a time at which the maximum number of retransmissions of the packet is reached.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying of whether the packet duplication is activated comprises identifying whether the packet duplication is activated at a time at which the maximum number of retransmissions of a packet is reached.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying of whether the packet duplication is activated comprises identifying whether the packet duplication has been activated continuously during a preset time until a time at which the maximum number of retransmissions of a packet is reached.

6. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to:

identify that a maximum number of retransmissions associated with a radio link control (RLC) entity is reached,

identify that at least one allowed cell for a logical channel associated with the RLC entity does not include a primary cell,

identify whether a packet duplication is activated, and

transmit via the transceiver, to a base station, failure related information associated with the RLC entity in case that the packet duplication is activated,

wherein a radio link failure (RLF) for a cell group associated with the RLC entity is identified in case that the packet duplication is deactivated, and

wherein the failure related information associated with the RLC entity includes information on an identity (ID) of the logical channel associated with the RLC entity and information on a cell group associated with the RLC entity.

7. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the cell group associated with the RLC entity includes at least one of a master cell group (MCG) or a secondary cell group (SCG).

8. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor, when identifying whether the packet duplication is activated, is further configured to:

identify whether the packet duplication has been activated continuously since a packet was initially transmitted until a time at which the maximum number of retransmissions of the packet is reached.

9. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor, when identifying whether the packet duplication is activated, is further configured to:

identify whether the packet duplication is activated at a time at which the maximum number of retransmissions of a packet is reached.

10. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a computer-readable program to be executed on a computing device to cause the computing device to:

identify that a maximum number of retransmissions associated with a radio link control (RLC) entity is reached;

identify that at least one allowed cell for a logical channel associated with the RLC entity does not include a primary cell;

identify whether a packet duplication is activated; and

transmit, to a base station, failure related information associated with the RLC entity in case that the packet duplication is activated,

wherein a radio link failure (RLF) for a cell group associated with the RLC entity is identified in case that the packet duplication is deactivated, and

wherein the failure related information associated with the RLC entity includes information on an identity (ID) of the logical channel associated with the RLC entity and information on a cell group associated with the RLC entity.
