Abstract

The present application discloses a method and a device for wireless communications. A first node receives a first message, the first message being used for configuring a first RLC entity and a second RLC entity; and transmits a first data unit set via the second RLC entity; and as a response to any condition in a first condition set being satisfied, starts to transmit a second data unit set via the first RLC entity; herein, each data unit comprised by the second RLC entity is transmitted via a second link in an air interface; the first condition set comprises that the second link is failed; each data unit comprised by the first RLC entity is transmitted via a first link in an air interface. The present application can enhance the robustness of data transmission with energy being saved.

a first processor, transmitting a first data unit set via the second RLC entity; and as a response to any condition in a first condition set being satisfied, starting to transmit a second data unit set via the first RLC entity;

wherein each of the first data unit set and the second data unit set respectively comprises at least one data unit; each data unit comprised by the second RLC entity is transmitted via a second link in an air interface; the first condition set comprises that the second link is failed; each data unit comprised by the first RLC entity is transmitted via a first link in an air interface; the first RLC entity and the second RLC entity are associated with a first PDCP entity, the first PDCP entity comprising the first data unit set and the second data unit set; the second link includes a first sidelink.

2 . The first node according to claim 1 , characterized in that the first message indicates a first logical channel and a first RLC channel, where the first logical channel is associated with the first RLC entity, while the first RLC channel is associated with the second RLC entity.

3 . The first node according to claim 1 , characterized in comprising:

the first processor, receiving a first indication from the second RLC entity, the first indication being used for acknowledging a successful transmission of a first data unit subset;

wherein the second data unit set comprises at least one data unit in the first data unit subset, the first data unit set comprising the first data unit subset.

4 . The first node according to claim 3 , characterized in that a time interval from a reception of the first indication to the second link being acknowledged as failed is smaller than a first time length;

wherein the first time length is configurable, or, the first time length is pre-configured.

5 . The first node according to claim 1 , characterized in comprising:

the first processor, when the second link is failed, transmitting second link failure information via the first link, the second link failure information indicating the second RLC entity.

6 . The first node according to claim 1 , characterized in comprising:

the first processor, when the second link is failed, re-establishing the second link; and as a response to that re-establishing the second link is successful, stopping transmitting data unit(s) comprised by the first PDCP entity via the first RLC entity.

7 . The first node according to claim 1 , characterized in that the first link is a direct link, while the second link is an indirect link; that the second link is failed includes at least one of the first sidelink being failed or a third link being failed;

wherein the third link is a link included in the second link other than the first sidelink.

8 . A second node wireless communications, comprising:

a first transmitter, transmitting a first message, the first message being used for configuring a first RLC entity and a second RLC entity;

wherein a first data unit set is transmitted via the second RLC entity; when any condition in a first condition set is satisfied, a second data unit set starts to be transmitted via the first RLC entity; each of the first data unit set and the second data unit set respectively comprises at least one data unit; each data unit comprised by the second RLC entity is transmitted via a second link in an air interface; the first condition set comprises that the second link is failed; each data unit comprised by the first RLC entity is transmitted via a first link in an air interface; the first RLC entity and the second RLC entity are associated with a first PDCP entity, the first PDCP entity comprising the first data unit set and the second data unit set; the second link includes a first sidelink.

9 . The second node according to claim 8 , characterized in that the first message indicates a first logical channel and a first RLC channel, where the first logical channel is associated with the first RLC entity, while the first RLC channel is associated with the second RLC entity.

10 . The second node according to claim 8 , characterized in that a first indication from the second RLC entity is received, the first indication being used for acknowledging a successful transmission of a first data unit subset;

wherein the second data unit set comprises at least one data unit in the first data unit subset, the first data unit set comprising the first data unit subset.

11 . The second node according to claim 10 , characterized in that a time interval from a reception of the first indication to the second link being acknowledged as failed is smaller than a first time length;

wherein the first time length is configurable, or, the first time length is pre-configured.

12 . The second node according to claim 8 , characterized in comprising:

a second processor, when the second link is failed, receiving second link failure information via the first link, the second link failure information indicating the second RLC entity.

13 . The second node according to claim 8 , characterized in comprising:

a second processor, when re-establishing the second link is successful, stopping receiving data unit(s) comprised by the first PDCP entity via a peer RLC entity of the first RLC entity;

wherein the second link is failed and the second link is re-established.

14 . The second node according to claim 8 , characterized in that the first link is a direct link, while the second link is an indirect link; that the second link is failed includes at least one of the first sidelink being failed or a third link being failed;

wherein the third link is a link included in the second link other than the first sidelink.

15 . A method in a first node for wireless communications, characterized in comprising:

receiving a first message, the first message being used for configuring a first RLC entity and a second RLC entity; and

transmitting a first data unit set via the second RLC entity; and

as a response to any condition in a first condition set being satisfied, starting to transmit a second data unit set via the first RLC entity;

wherein each of the first data unit set and the second data unit set respectively comprises at least one data unit; each data unit comprised by the second RLC entity is transmitted via a second link in an air interface; the first condition set comprises that the second link is failed; each data unit comprised by the first RLC entity is transmitted via a first link in an air interface; the first RLC entity and the second RLC entity are associated with a first PDCP entity, the first PDCP entity comprising the first data unit set and the second data unit set; the second link includes a first sidelink.
