Method for transmitting packet data in compressed form in a communication system

摘要

A method and apparatus for a transmitter having a radio protocol with an upper layer (PDCP: 10, 12, 14) and a lower layer (RLC: 16, 18, 20) therein used for management of full header packet transmission when transmitting data packets to a receiver are provided. If the upper layer (PDCP) receives from the lower layer (RLC), information of a successful transmission of a full header packet, the upper layer (PDCP) decides to stop sending any additional full header packet that contains the same full header as the previously successfully transmitted full header packet.
