Method and device for transmitting data
Provided are methods and devices for data duplicate transmission in a next-generation/5G radio access network. The method of a UE for transmitting data may include configuring a plurality of radio link control (RLC) objects which are linked to a single packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) object and used to process duplicate transmission for a wireless bearer, on the basis of configuration information for configuring duplicate transmission of data received from a base station; receiving a MAC control element comprising indication information indicating an activation state change for the plurality of RLC objects; changing, to an active state, an RLC object indicated by the indication information to be in the active state; and performing duplicate transmission of the data using the activated RLC object.
1. A method of a user equipment (UE) for transmitting data, the method comprising:
configuring a plurality of radio link control (RLC) entities used for processing duplicate transmission for a radio bearer with being associated with one packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity based on configuration information for configuring data duplicate transmission which is received from a base station;
receiving a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) including indication information for indicating activation status change for the plurality of RLC entities;
changing an RLC entity indicated as activation status based on the indication information to the activation status; and
duplicately transmitting data using the activated RLC entity,
wherein the MAC CE includes indication information in a form of a bitmap indicating activation or deactivation status of each of the plurality of RLC entities associated with each radio bearer, and
wherein the bitmap indicates activation or deactivation status of one or more RLC entities except for one primary RLC entity configured to transmit a PDCP control PDU of the radio bearer among the plurality of RLC entities.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the configuration information includes at least one of RLC entity index information for each of the plurality of RLC entities and activation status information.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of RLC entities includes one primary RLC entity configured to transmit a PDCP control PDU of the radio bearer, and the primary RLC entity is always configured with the activation status.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein bits for the one or more RLC entities are assigned in ascending order of logical channel identifier (LCID) in a master cell group, and thereafter, assigned in ascending order of LCID in a secondary cell group.
5. A method of a base station for controlling data transmission of a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
transmitting, to the UE, configuration information for configuring, in the UE, a plurality of radio link control (RLC) entities used for processing duplicate transmission for a radio bearer with being associated with one packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity;
transmitting a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) including indication information for indicating activation status change for the plurality of RLC entities to the UE; and
receiving data duplicately transmitted through an RLC entity activated based on the indication information,
wherein the configuration information includes at least one of RLC entity index information for each of the plurality of RLC entities and activation status information,
wherein the MAC CE includes indication information in a form of a bitmap indicating activation or deactivation status of each of the plurality of RLC entities associated with each radio bearer, and
wherein the bitmap indicates activation or deactivation status of one or more RLC entities except for one primary RLC entity configured to transmit a PDCP control PDU of the radio bearer among the plurality of RLC entities.
6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the plurality of RLC entities includes one primary RLC entity configured to transmit a PDCP control PDU of the radio bearer, and the primary RLC entity is always configured with the activation status.
7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein bits for the one or more RLC entities are assigned in ascending order of logical channel identifier (LCID) in a master cell group, and thereafter, assigned in ascending order of LCID in a secondary cell group.
8. A user equipment (UE) for transmitting data, the user equipment comprising:
a controller configured to configure a plurality of radio link control (RLC) entities used for processing duplicate transmission for a radio bearer with being associated with one packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity based on configuration information for configuring data duplicate transmission which is received from a base station;
a receiver configured to receive a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) including indication information for indicating activation status change for the plurality of RLC entities; and
a transmitter configured to duplicately transmit data using the activated RLC entity,
wherein the controller changes an RLC entity indicated as activation status based on the indication information to the activation status,
wherein the MAC CE includes indication information in a form of a bitmap indicating activation or deactivation status of each of the plurality of RLC entities associated with each radio bearer, and
wherein the bitmap indicates activation or deactivation status of one or more RLC entities except for one primary RLC entity configured to transmit a PDCP control PDU of the radio bearer among the plurality of RLC entities.
9. The user equipment according to claim 8 , wherein the configuration information includes at least one of RLC entity index information for each of the plurality of RLC entities and activation status information.
10. The user equipment according to claim 8 , wherein the plurality of RLC entities includes one primary RLC entity configured to transmit a PDCP control PDU of the radio bearer, and the primary RLC entity is always configured with the activation status.
11. The user equipment according to claim 8 , wherein bits for the one or more RLC entities are assigned in ascending order of logical channel identifier (LCID) in a master cell group, and thereafter, assigned in ascending order of LCID in a secondary cell group.
