Method for transmitting uplink data in a dual connectivity and a device therefor
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and a device for transmitting uplink data in the wireless communication system, the method comprising: configuring a radio bearer comprising a first and a second Radio Link Controls (RLCs) and a first and a second Medium Access Controls (MACs) of the UE, wherein the first RLC and the first MAC are used to transmit data to the first BS, and the second RLC and the second MAC are used to transmit data to the second BS; receiving an indication for the radio bearer, wherein the indication indicates to which of the first BS and the second BS the radio bearer is to transmit data; and transmitting uplink (UL) data of the radio bearer to the first BS using the first RLC and the first MAC if the indication indicates the radio bearer transmits data to the first BS.
1. A method for a user equipment (UE) operating in a dual connectivity mode in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
configuring, by the UE, a split bearer associated with both a base station (BS) of a master cell group (MCG) and a BS of a secondary cell group (SCG),
wherein the configuring the split bearer comprises configuring:
a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity of the UE,
a first radio link control (RLC) entity and a first medium access control (MAC) entity of the UE, and
a second RLC entity and a second MAC entity of the UE,
wherein the PDCP entity is connected with both of the first RLC entity and the second RLC entity, the first RLC entity is connected with the first MAC entity, and the second RLC entity is connected with the second MAC entity, and
wherein the first RLC entity and the first MAC entity are used to communicate with the BS of the MCG and the second RLC entity and the second MAC entity are used to communicate with the BS of the SCG;
while in the dual connectivity mode, receiving a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signal including an indication related to a transmission path; and
based on the indication and while in the dual connectivity mode, transmitting, by the PDCP entity, the data of the PDCP entity of the UE only to the first RLC entity without duplication to the second RLC entity or only to the second RLC entity without duplication to the first RLC entity.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the data of the PDCP entity is a PDCP protocol data unit (PDU).
3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
measuring a radio condition of a channel for the BS of the MCG and a radio condition of a channel for the BS of the SCG; and
reporting a result of the measurement of the radio conditions to at least one of the BS of the MCG or the BS of the SCG.
4. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the method further comprises:
receiving a second RRC signal including a second indication related to the transmission path; and
discarding all the data of the PDCP entity based on the second indication informing a transmission path different from a transmission path informed by the indication.
5. A user equipment (UE) operating in a dual connectivity mode in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) module including a transceiver; and
a processor configured to:
configure a split bearer associated with both a base station (BS) of master cell group (MCG) and a BS of secondary cell group (SCG),
wherein the configuring the split bearer comprises configuring:
a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity of the UE,
a first radio link control (RLC) entity and a first medium access control (MAC) entity of the UE, and
a second RLC entity and a second MAC entity of the UE,
wherein the PDCP entity is connected with both of the first RLC entity and the second RLC entity, the first RLC entity is connected with the first MAC entity, and the second RLC entity is connected with the second MAC entity, and
wherein the first RLC entity and the first MAC entity are used to communicate with the BS of the MCG and the second RLC entity and the second MAC entity are used to communicate with the BS of the SCG;
while in the dual connectivity mode, receive a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signal including an indication related to a transmission path; and
based on the indication and while in the dual connectivity mode, transmitting, by the PDCP entity, the data of the PDCP entity of the UE only to the first RLC entity without duplication to the second RLC entity or only to the second RLC entity without duplication to the first RLC entity.
6. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein the data of the PDCP entity is a PDCP protocol data unit (PDU).
7. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
measure a radio condition of a channel for the BS of the MCG and a radio condition of a channel for the BS of the SCG; and
report a result of the measurement of the radio conditions to at least one of the BS of the MCG or the BS of the SCG.
8. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
receive a second RRC signal including a second indication related to the transmission path, and
discard all the data of the PDCP entity based on the second indication informing a transmission path different from a transmission path informed by the indication.
