Abstract

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes identifying whether a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity is suspended in case that the PDCP entity re-establishment is requested from an upper layer, identifying whether an indicator is configured for indicating that an uplink data compression (UDC) is continuously used and a PDCP service data unit (SDU) is compressed, for an acknowledged mode (AM) data radio bearer (DRB) whose the PDCP entity is not suspended, and submitting the PDCP SDU, in case that the indicator is configured for indicating that the UDC is continuously used and the PDCP SDU is compressed.

Claims (22)

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

identifying an acknowledged mode (AM) data radio bearer (DRB) whose a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity is not suspended, in case that a PDCP entity re-establishment is requested from an upper layer;

identifying whether an indicator is configured for indicating that the PDCP entity continues an uplink data compression (UDC) protocol and whether a PDCP service data unit (SDU) is compressed, for the AM DRB whose the PDCP entity is not suspended; and

performing an integrity protection or ciphering for the PDCP SDU compressed, in case that the indicator is configured for indicating that the PDCP entity continues the UDC protocol and the PDCP SDU is compressed.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

performing uplink data compression of the PDCP SDU, in case that the indicator is not configured for indicating that the PDCP entity continues the UDC protocol or the PDCP SDU is not compressed.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

submitting a PDCP protocol data unit (PDU) to a lower layer based on a result of the performing the integrity protection or ciphering for the PDCP SDU compressed.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the indicator for indicating that the PDCP entity continues the UDC protocol is configured based on a radio resource control (RRC) message.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a retransmission or a transmission of all PDCP SDUs is performed in ascending order of count values associated to the PDCP SDU, from a first PDCP SDU for a successful delivery of a corresponding PDCP Data PDU has not been confirmed by lower layers, for the AM DRB whose the PDCP entity is not suspended.

6 . A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

at least one processor configured to:

identify an acknowledged mode (AM) data radio bearer (DRB) whose a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity is not suspended, in case that a PDCP entity re-establishment is requested from an upper layer,

identify whether an indicator is configured for indicating that the PDCP entity continues an uplink data compression (UDC) protocol and whether a PDCP service data unit (SDU) is compressed, for the AM DRB whose the PDCP entity is not suspended, and

perform an integrity protection or ciphering for the PDCP SDU compressed, in case that the indicator is configured for indicating that the PDCP entity continues the UDC protocol and the PDCP SDU is compressed.

7 . The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

perform uplink data compression of the PDCP SDU,

in case that the indicator is not configured for indicating that the PDCP entity continues the UDC protocol or the PDCP SDU is not compressed.

8 . The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

submit a PDCP protocol data unit (PDU) to a lower layer based on a result of the performing the integrity protection or ciphering for the PDCP SDU compressed.

9 . The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the indicator for indicating that the PDCP entity continues the UDC protocol is configured based on a radio resource control (RRC) message.

10 . The terminal of claim 6 , wherein a retransmission or a transmission of all PDCP SDUs is performed in ascending order of count values associated to the PDCP SDU, from a first PDCP SDU for which a successful delivery of a corresponding PDCP data PDU has not been confirmed by lower layers, for the AM DRB whose the PDCP entity is not suspended.
