USER EQUIPMENT AND METHOD

摘要

Some techniques for preventing delay of updating a PDCP reception window in user equipment due to packet discarding are provided. One aspect of the present invention relates to user equipment comprising: a transmission and reception unit configured to transmit and receive a packet to/from a base station; a PDCP layer processing unit configured to determine for a PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) packet received from the base station whether a sequence number of the PDCP packet is within a reception window and perform a PDCP layer operation on the PDCP packet having the sequence number falling within the reception window; and a reception window updating determination unit configured to determine whether the packet received from the base station is a predefined updating trigger packet for causing the reception window to be updated and if the received packet is the updating trigger packet, cause the PDCP layer processing unit to update the reception window.
