Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method executed by user equipment, including: receiving, by a radio link control “RLC” entity, a service data unit “SDU” from an upper layer. The method further includes: generating, by the RLC entity, a protocol data unit “PDU,” the PDU including at least a part of the received SDU, and a sequence number of the PDU being set according to a send state variable. The method further includes: updating, by the RLC entity, the send state variable. Furthermore, the present disclosure further provides corresponding user equipment.

Claims (15)

1. A method performed by a user equipment, the method comprising:

receiving, from an upper layer of the user equipment, a radio link control (RLC) service data unit (SDU);

constructing, by an acknowledged mode (AM) RLC entity of the user equipment, an acknowledged mode data (AMD) protocol data unit (PDU) by setting a sequence number of the AMD PDU according to a send state variable; and

incrementing the send state variable by one, wherein:

the send state variable holds a value of the sequence number to be assigned for a next newly generated AMD PDU,

the send state variable is initially set to 0, and

the send state variable is updated whenever the AM RLC entity constructs the AMD PDU with the sequence number which is equal to the send state variable, the AMD PDU including an entirety of the RLC SDU.

2. A user equipment, comprising:

a receiver configured to receive, from an upper layer of the user equipment, a radio link control (RLC) service data unit (SDU); and

a processor configured to:

construct, by an acknowledged mode (AM) RLC entity of the user equipment, an acknowledged mode data (AMD) protocol data unit (PDU) by setting a sequence number of the AMD PDU according to a send state variable; and

increment the send state variable by one, wherein:

the send state variable holds a value of the sequence number to be assigned for a next newly generated AMD PDU,

the send state variable is initially set to 0, and

the send state variable is updated whenever the AM RLC entity constructs the AMD PDU with the sequence number which is equal to the send state variable, the AMD PDU including an entirety of the RLC SDU.
