Abstract

A method of performing communication, by a terminal, in a wireless communication system, the method including receiving a radio resource control (RRC) release message; identifying configuration information for suspending based on the received RRC release message; suspending bearers including a data radio bearer (DRB) and a signaling radio bearer (SRB), except an SRB0; and indicating a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) suspend of the DRB.

Claims (51)

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

receiving a radio resource control (RRC) release message;

identifying configuration information for suspending based on the received RRC release message;

suspending bearers including a data radio bearer (DRB) and a signaling radio bearer (SRB), except an SRB0;

indicating a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) suspend of the DRB; and

based on an indication of the PDCP suspend, in case a reorder timer is running, delivering stored PDCP service data units (SDUs), from a receiving PDCP entity to an upper layer, in an ascending order of associated count values after performing header decompression.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

based on the indication of the PDCP suspend, setting a transmission state variable to an initial value, at a transmitting PDCP entity.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

based on the indication of the PDCP suspend, discarding stored protocol data units (PDUs), at a transmitting PDCP entity.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

based on the indication of the PDCP suspend, performing stop and reset of a running reorder timer, at a receiving PDCP entity.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

based on the indication of the PDCP suspend, setting at least one reception state variable to an initial value, at a receiving PDCP entity.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

performing re-establishment of a radio link protocol (RLC) entity for an SRB1 and reset of a medium access control (MAC).

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

entering an RRC inactive mode.

8. A method of performing communication, by a base station, in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

obtaining configuration information for suspending; and

transmitting, to a terminal, a radio resource control (RRC) release message including the configuration information for the suspending,

wherein the RRC release message causes bearers including a data radio bearer (DRB) and a signaling radio bearer (SRB), except an SRB0, to be suspended at the terminal, the RRC release message causes a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) suspending of the DRB to be indicated at the terminal, and based on an indication of the PDCP suspend, in case a reorder timer is running, stored PDCP SDUs (service data units) are delivered, from a receiving PDCP entity of the terminal to an upper layer, in an ascending order of associated count values after header decompression.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

based on the indication of the PDCP suspending of the terminal, a transmission state variable is set to an initial value at a transmitting PDCP entity of the terminal.

10. A terminal for performing communication in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

control the transceiver to receive a radio resource control (RRC) release message,

identify configuration information for suspending based on the received RRC release message,

suspend bearers including a data radio bearer (DRB) and a signaling radio bearer (SRB), except an SRB0,

indicate a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) suspend of the DRB, and

based on an indication of the PDCP suspend, in case a reorder timer is running, deliver stored PDCP SDUs (service data units), from a receiving PDCP entity to an upper layer, in an ascending order of associated count values after performing header decompression.

11. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

based on the indication of the PDCP suspend, set a transmission state variable to an initial value, at a transmitting PDCP entity.

12. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

based on the indication of the PDCP suspend, discard stored protocol data units (PDUs), at a transmitting PDCP entity.

13. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

based on the indication of the PDCP suspend, perform stop and reset of a running reorder timer, at a receiving PDCP entity.

14. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

based on the indication of the PDCP suspend, set at least one reception state variable to an initial value, at a receiving PDCP entity.

15. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

perform re-establishment of a radio link protocol (RLC) entity for an SRB1 and reset of a medium access control (MAC).

16. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

enter an RRC inactive mode.

17. A base station for performing communication in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

obtain configuration information for suspending, and

control the transceiver to transmit, to a terminal, a radio resource control (RRC) release message including the configuration information for the suspending,

wherein the RRC release message causes bearers including a data radio bearer (DRB) and a signaling radio bearer (SRB), except an SRB0, to be suspended at the terminal, the RRC release message causes a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) suspending of the DRB to be indicated at the terminal, and based on an indication of the PDCP suspend, in case a reorder timer is running, stored PDCP SDUs (service data units) are delivered, from a receiving PDCP entity of the terminal to an upper layer, in an ascending order of associated count values after header decompression.

18. The base station of claim 17 , wherein based on the indication of the PDCP suspend of the terminal, a transmission state variable is set to an initial value at a transmitting PDCP entity of the terminal.
