Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A control method of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes receiving packet data conversion protocol (PDCP) configuration information including information indicative of whether a PDCP layer supports out-of-sequence delivery; identifying whether the PDCP layer supports out-of-sequence delivery based on the PDCP configuration information; and processing a PDCP packet data unit (PDU) based on a result of identifying whether the PDCP layer supports out-of-sequence delivery.
