Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique for integrating a 5G communication system to support a higher data transmission rate than a 4G system, with IoT technology, and a system therefor. The present disclosure can be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, health care, digital education, retail businesses, security and safety related services, etc.) on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT related technology. Disclosed is a method for performing packet deletion on the basis of a lower layer transmission result in a next generation mobile communication system.

Claims (32)

1. A method by a transmitter in a communication system, the method comprising:

generating a first packet and a second packet including the same packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) service data unit (SDU);

transmitting the first packet to a receiver;

identifying that a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) corresponding to the first packet or a request for toggling a new data indicator (NDI) is received from the receiver; and

deleting a part of the second packet, in case that the second packet is transferred to a medium access control (MAC) layer or the second packet includes a radio link control (RLC) header.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein an entire second packet is deleted, in case that the second packet is not transferred to the MAC layer and the second packet does not include the RLC header.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the deleting of the part of the second packet comprises one of:

deleting the PDCP SDU included in the second packet; or

deleting the PDCP SDU and a PDCP header included in the second packet.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, in case that the second packet includes the RLC header, transmitting the RLC header of the second packet to the receiver.

5. A transmitter in a wireless communication system, the transmitter comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

generate a first packet and a second packet including the same packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) service data unit (SDU),

transmit the first packet to a receiver,

identify that a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) corresponding to the first packet or a request for toggling a new data indicator (NDI) is received from the receiver, and

delete a part of the second packet, in case that the second packet is transferred to a medium access control (MAC) layer or the second packet includes a radio link control (RLC) header.

6. The transmitter of claim 5 , wherein the controller is configured to delete an entire second packet, in case that the second packet is not transferred to the MAC layer and the second packet does not include the RLC header.

7. The transmitter of claim 5 , wherein the controller is configured to delete the PDCP SDU included in the second packet, or delete a PDCP header and the PDCP SDU included in the second packet.

8. The transmitter of claim 5 , wherein the controller is further configured to, in case that the second packet includes the RLC header, transmit the RLC header of the second packet to the receiver.

9. A method by a receiver in a communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a first packet including a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) service data unit (SDU) from a transmitter;

transmitting, to the transmitter, a hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) acknowledgment (ACK) corresponding to the first packet or a request for toggling a new data indicator (NDI); and

receiving, from the transmitter, a second packet associated with the same PDCP SDU as the first packet,

wherein the second packet does not include the PDCP SDU, in case that the second packet is transferred to a medium access control (MAC) layer of the transmitter, or the second packet includes a radio link control (RLC) header.

10. A receiver in a communication system, the receiver comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

receive a first packet including a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) service data unit (SDU) from a transmitter,

transmit, to the transmitter, a hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) acknowledgment (ACK) corresponding to the first packet or a request for toggling a new data indicator (NDI), and

receive, from the transmitter, a second packet associated with the same PDCP SDU as the first packet,

wherein the second packet does not include the PDCP SDU, in case that the second packet is transferred to a medium access control (MAC) layer of the transmitter, or the second packet includes a radio link control (RLC) header.
