Transmitting device and buffer control method
A transmitting device includes: a first layer processor configured to include a buffer to store therein transmission data, the first layer processor configured to execute processing for a first layer on the transmission data; a second layer processor configured to execute processing for a second layer that differs from the first layer on the transmission data; and a transmitter configured to transmit the transmission data processed by the first layer processor and the second layer processor. The first layer processor discards the transmission data stored in the buffer in accordance with a parameter used for transmission control in the processing for the second layer.

the second layer processor executes processing for a medium access control (MAC) layer on the transmission data, and
the first layer processor executes processing for a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer on the transmission data, and discards the transmission data stored in the buffer, when a time corresponding to a maximum transmission time for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) used for priority control for the MAC layer expires after the transmission data has been stored in the buffer, the time being shorter than a discard time that is predetermined in the PDCP layer.
2. The transmitting device according to claim 1 , wherein
the first layer processor executes processing for a radio link control (RLC) layer on the transmission data, and
the maximum transmission time is a time shorter than a discard time that is predetermined time in the RLC layer.
3. The transmitting device according to claim 1 , wherein
the second layer processor executes processing for an RLC layer on the transmission data, and
the first layer processor discards the transmission data stored in the buffer, when a re-transmission count for the transmission data stored in the buffer reaches a maximum re-transmission count used for re-transmission control for the RLC layer.
4. The transmitting device according to claim 1 , wherein
the transmitting device is a mobile terminal.
5. A buffer control method comprising:
executing processing for a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer on transmission data stored in a buffer;
executing processing for a medium access control (MAC) layer on the transmission data; and
discarding the transmission data stored in the buffer, when a time corresponding to a maximum transmission time for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) used for priority control for the MAC layer expires after the transmission data has been stored in the buffer, the time being shorter than a discard time that is predetermined in the PDCP layer.
6. A base station device that controls a terminal device by radio resource control (RRC) signaling, the base station device comprising:
a controller configured to notify the terminal device, by the RRC signaling, of a time corresponding to a maximum transmission time for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) used for priority control for a medium access control (MAC) layer expires after transmission data has been stored in a buffer of the terminal device, the time being shorter than a discard time that is predetermined in a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer.

a second layer processor configured to execute processing for a second layer that differs from the first layer on the transmission data; and
a transmitter configured to transmit the transmission data processed by the first layer processor and the second layer processor, wherein
the second layer processor executes processing for a medium access control (MAC) layer on the transmission data, and
the first layer processor executes processing for a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer on the transmission data, and discards the transmission data stored in the buffer, when a time notified from the base station device by the RRC signaling and corresponding to a maximum transmission time for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) used for priority control for the MAC layer expires after the transmission data has been stored in the buffer, the time being shorter than a discard time that is predetermined in the PDCP layer.
