Embodiments concern indication of extent of out-of-sequencing for multi-connectivity. While receiving control plane or user plane packets from multi-connectivity legs, a specific user-plane packet may be determined to be an out-of-sequence packet if the packet is received too early or too late. The receiver may keep a per-leg counter of number of out-of-sequence packets and a total count of packet received. An indication message may be sent to indicate multi-connectivity legs which are generating early or late packets. The sender then may adjust its data flow partitioning policy across multi-connectivity legs until the percentage or fraction of out-of-sequence packets is below a desired threshold. |
