*This abstract for appeared for patent application  number 18327523 Titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING EFFICIENT LAYER 2 FUNCTION IN MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM'

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a communication technique that combines IoT technology with a 5G communication system to support faster data transfer rates compared to the previous 4G system. This technology can be used in various intelligent services such as smart homes, buildings, cities, cars, healthcare, education, retail, and security. The abstract also mentions a method and apparatus for setting up an efficient hierarchical layer 2 architecture in the next-generation mobile communication system.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique for converging IoT technology with a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transfer rate beyond a 4G system, and a system therefor. The present disclosure can be applied to intelligent services (e.g., smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart or connected cars, health care, digital education, retail business, and services associated with security and safety) on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology. Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for configuring an efficient hierarchical layer 2 architecture and main functions thereof in a next-generation mobile communication system.
