REORDERING PROCEDURE FOR DATA PACKETS IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a method for performing a data transmission between a sending entity and a receiving entity. The sending entity provides the data in form of data packets being ordered in a sequence. In order to make the data transmission more efficient when packet reordering occur on the communication link between the protocol entities, the receiver entity at a reception of a data packet which is out of the sequence order, delays a triggering of a reordering procedure for providing the sequence order at the receiver by means of a delay parameter whereby during the duration of the delay the establishment of the sequence order of the incoming data packets is controlled by means of a controlling parameter.
