Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and a device used for wireless communications, comprising: transmitting a first transmission on a first SDU, including transmitting a first MAC PDU group; the first MAC PDU group at least comprises a first MAC PDU; receiving a first signaling and a first status report, the first signaling being used to indicate that a first ID is renewed as a second ID; the first status report is used to indicate that the first SDU is not received yet; and performing a second transmission on the first SDU, including transmitting a second MAC PDU group; the second MAC PDU group at least comprises a second MAC PDU; the first signaling is used to trigger the first status report. By transmitting the first SDU in a rational way, the present disclosure helps improve reliability and prevent risks in communications.

Claims (20)

1. A first node for wireless communications, comprising: a first transmitter, performing a first transmission on a first Service Data Unit (SDU); the action of performing a first transmission on the first SDU includes transmitting a first Media Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Unit (PDU) group; the first MAC PDU group at least comprises a first MAC PDU; a first receiver, receiving a first signaling and a first status report, the first signaling being used to indicate that a first identifier (ID) is renewed as a second ID; the first status report is used to indicate that the first SDU is not received yet; and the first transmitter, performing a second transmission on the first SDU; the action of performing a second transmission on the first SDU includes transmitting a second MAC PDU group; the second MAC PDU group at least comprises a second MAC PDU; wherein the first signaling is used to trigger the first status report, and the first ID and the second ID are link layer IDs, respectively; the first MAC PDU group carries the first SDU; the first MAC PDU group comprises at least part of bits comprised in the first ID; and the second MAC PDU group carries the first SDU; the second MAC PDU group comprises at least part of bits comprised in the second ID.

2. The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the action of performing a first transmission on the first SDU includes: transmitting a first physical layer signaling, the first physical layer signaling comprises configuration information of a first channel, and the first MAC PDU is transmitted on the first channel; wherein the first physical layer signaling and the first MAC PDU jointly comprise the first ID.

3. The first node according to claim 2 , wherein the action of performing a second transmission on the first SDU includes: transmitting a second physical layer signaling, the second physical layer signaling comprises configuration information of a second channel, and the second MAC PDU group is transmitted on the second channel; wherein the second physical layer signaling and the second MAC PDU jointly comprise the second ID.

4. The first node according to claim 2 , wherein the first status report indicates that a first SDU set is not received, the first SDU set comprising the first SDU.

5. The first node according to claim 4 , comprising: the first receiver, receiving a second signaling; and the first transmitter, transmitting a third signaling; wherein the second signaling is used to trigger the third signaling, and the third signaling is used to trigger the first signaling.

6. The first node according to claim 5 , wherein the second signaling comprises a key update request.

7. The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the first signaling is used to indicate that a first part of a first key ID is renewed as a first part of a second key ID; the action of performing a first transmission on the first SDU includes: the first transmitter, using the first key ID to encrypt the first SDU; the action of performing a second transmission on the first SDU includes: the first transmitter, using the second key ID to encrypt the first SDU.

8. The first node according to claim 7 , comprising: the first receiver, receiving a fourth signaling; wherein the fourth signaling is used to indicate that a first logical channel ID is renewed as a second logical channel ID; the action of performing a first transmission on the first SDU includes: the first transmitter, applying the first logical channel ID in secure algorithm of the first SDU; the action of performing a second transmission on the first SDU includes: the first transmitter, applying the second logical channel ID in secure algorithm of the first SDU.

9. The first node according to claim 8 , wherein in the first transmission, all MAC PDUs that at least carry part of bits in the first SDU are determined to form the first MAC PDU group.

10. The first node according to claim 9 , wherein in the second transmission, all MAC PDUs that at least carry part of bits in the first SDU are determined to form the first MAC PDU group.

11. The first node according to claim 8 , wherein the action that the first SDU is not received yet includes that a variant of RX_DELIV is smaller than a variant of RX_NEXT (i.e., RX_DELIV<RX_NEXT) in a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) entity in the first node, and a bit comprised in a bitmap carried by the first status report that corresponds to the first SDU is set to 0 (zero).

12. The first node according to claim 8 , wherein the first status report implicitly indicates that the first SDU is not received, the first SDU is a first missing SDU, and a bitmap carried by the first status report only indicates reception of SDUs after the first missing SDU.

13. The first node according to claim 8 , wherein a transmitter and a receiver of the first signaling only maintain an ID of a same type as the first ID.

14. The first node according to claim 8 , wherein the first signaling is used to indicate that the first node re-establishes a Radio Link Control (RLC) entity associated with the first MAC PDU group.

15. The first node according to claim 8 wherein the first signaling is used to indicate that the first node resets a MAC entity associated with the first MAC PDU group.

16. The first node according to claim 8 , wherein after receiving the first status report, the first node deletes an RLC PDU carried by the first MAC PDU group that is not yet confirmed in RLC buffer.

17. The first node according to claim 13 , wherein the first signaling is used to indicate that the first node re-establishes an RLC entity associated with the first MAC PDU group.

18. The first node according to claim 17 , wherein after receiving the first status report, the first node deletes an RLC PDU carried by the first MAC PDU group that is not yet confirmed in RLC buffer.

19. A second node for wireless communications, comprising: a second receiver, failing to correctly receive a first Media Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Unit (PDU) group; the first MAC PDU group at least comprises a first MAC PDU; a second transmitter, transmitting a first signaling and a first status report, the first signaling being used to indicate that a first identifier (ID) is renewed as a second ID; the first status report is used to indicate that a first Service Data Unit (SDU) is not received; the second receiver, receiving a second MAC PDU group; the second MAC PDU group at least comprises a second MAC PDU; wherein the first signaling is used to trigger the first status report, and the first ID and the second ID are link layer IDs, respectively; the first MAC PDU group carries the first SDU; the first MAC PDU group comprises at least part of bits comprised in the first ID; and the second MAC PDU group carries the first SDU; the second MAC PDU group comprises at least part of bits comprised in the second ID.
