METHOD AND RLC ENTITY FOR TIMER MANAGEMENT IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18167302 titled 'METHOD AND RLC ENTITY FOR TIMER MANAGEMENT IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for managing timers in a radio link control (RLC) layer in a wireless communication system. The method involves activating a timer when receiving a set of data packets from a user equipment (UE) and deactivating the timer when receiving another set of data packets. The method also includes determining if there are any missing data packets and either reactivating the timer and prohibiting the generation of a status report or generating the status report.

  • The method involves activating and deactivating a timer in the RLC layer of a wireless communication system.
  • The timer is activated when receiving a set of data packets from a UE and deactivated when receiving another set of data packets.
  • The method includes determining if there are any missing data packets in the RLC receiving window.
  • If there are missing data packets, the timer is reactivated and the generation of a status report is prohibited.
  • If there are no missing data packets, a status report is generated.

Potential Applications

  • This method can be applied in various wireless communication systems that use the RLC layer.
  • It can be used in cellular networks, Wi-Fi networks, and other wireless communication technologies.

Problems Solved

  • The method helps in managing timers in the RLC layer, ensuring efficient data packet transmission and reception.
  • It addresses the issue of missing data packets by reactivating the timer and prohibiting the generation of a status report, which helps in maintaining data integrity.

Benefits

  • The method improves the reliability and efficiency of data transmission in wireless communication systems.
  • It helps in identifying and addressing missing data packets, ensuring the integrity of the received data.
  • The method optimizes the use of timers, reducing unnecessary status report generation and improving overall system performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for timer management in a radio link control (RLC) layer in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes activating, by an RLC entity, a timer at first time, in response to receiving a first set of data packets from at least one user equipment (UE) in an RLC receiving window and deactivating, by the RLC entity, the timer at second time, in response to receiving a second set of data packets from the at least one UE in the RLC receiving window. Further, the method includes determining, by the RLC entity, whether there is at least one missing data packet in the RLC receiving window, and reactivating the timer and prohibiting generation of a status report, in response to determining that there is the at least one missing data packet, or generating the status report, if there is no the at least one missing data packet.
