Method and a device for data retransmission
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. There is provided a method for data retransmission, comprising: receiving, by a second node, a first message that is transmitted by a first node and comprises information related to a data packet; determining, by the second node, a data packet to be retransmitted according to the first message; and retransmitting the packet to be retransmitted.
1. A first integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node in a communication system, the first IAB node comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller configured to:
receive, from a third node, identification information indicating a second node which is to receive information on an available buffer size of the first IAB node from the first IAB node,
receive, from the second node indicated by the identification information received from the third node, information indicating to report the information on the available buffer size of the first IAB node, via an adaptation layer associated with an IAB network, and
transmit, to the second node indicated by the identification information received from the third node, the information on the available buffer size of the first IAB node, via the adaptation layer associated with the IAB network,
wherein the first IAB node comprises a function of distributed unit for a base station and a function for a user equipment (UE),
wherein the second node corresponds to an IAB node or a distributed unit of the base station, and
wherein the third node corresponds to a donor central unit of the base station.
2. The first IAB node of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to receive, from the second node indicated by the identification information received from the third node, information indicating radio link recovery of the second node.
3. The first IAB node of claim 1 , wherein the identification information indicating the second node which is to receive information on the available buffer size of the first IAB node indicates a next hop node to receive a packet transmitted from the first IAB node.
4. The first IAB node of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
receive, from the second node indicated by the identification information received from the third node, information indicating a radio link failure (RLF), and
initiate a connection re-establishment procedure in response to the information indicating the RLF.
5. A second node in a communication system, the second node comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller configured to:
transmit, to a first integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node, information indicating to report the information on an available buffer size of the first IAB node, via an adaptation layer associated with an IAB network, and
receive, from the first IAB node, the information on the available buffer size of the first IAB node, via the adaptation layer associated with the IAB network,
wherein identification information indicating the second node is to receive information on an available buffer size of the first IAB node from the first IAB node is transmitted from a third node to the first IAB node,
wherein the first IAB node comprises a function of distributed unit for a base station and a function for a user equipment (UE),
wherein the second node corresponds to an IAB node or a distributed unit of the base station, and
wherein the third node corresponds to a donor central unit of a base station.
6. The second node of claim 5 , wherein the controller is further configured to transmit, to the first IAB node, information indicating radio link recovery of the second node.
7. The second node of claim 5 , wherein the identification information indicating the second node is to receive information on an available buffer size of the first IAB node from the first IAB node indicates a next hop node to receive a packet transmitted from the first IAB node.
8. The second node of claim 5 ,
wherein the controller is further configured to transmit, to the first IAB node, information indicating a radio link failure (RLF), and
wherein a connection re-establishment procedure is initiated by the first IAB node in response to the information indicating the RLF.
9. A third node in a communication system, the third node comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller configured to:
generate identification information indicating a second node which is to receive information on an available buffer size of a first integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node from the first IAB node, and
transmit, to the first IAB node, the generated identification information indicating the second node is to receive the information on the available buffer size of the first IAB node,
wherein information indicating to report the information on the available buffer size of the first IAB node is transmitted from the second node to the first IAB node, via an adaptation layer associated with an IAB network, and
wherein the information on an available buffer size of the first IAB node is transmitted from the first IAB node to the second node indicated by the identification information generated by the third node, via the adaptation layer associated with the IAB network;
wherein the first IAB node comprises a function of distributed unit for a base station and a function for a user equipment (UE),
wherein the second node corresponds to an IAB node or a distributed unit of the base station, and
wherein the third node corresponds to a donor central unit of a base station.
