Method and apparatus for processing data between different layers of mobile station in a wireless communication system

摘要

A method and user equipment (UE) for communicating data between a serving layer and a served layer are provided. In one design, a serving layer adjusts the value for the served layer before it forwards the value to the served layer. In another design, The serving layer forwards the value to the served layer without adjusting but the served layer adjusts the received value. A predefined mapping rule can be further applied when adjusting the value between two layers.

1. A method of communicating data between a radio resource control (RRC) of a user equipment (UE) and a non-access stratum (NAS) of the UE, the method perform by the UE in a wireless communication system using a number of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols and comprising:
receiving, by the RRC of the UE, an RRC message including a first time value for an extended wait time from a base station; adjusting, by the RRC of the UE, the first time value to a second time value when the first time value does not fall within a range of a time value for a mobility management (MM) back-off timer, wherein the second time value falls within the range of the time value for the MM back-off timer; and forwarding, by RRC of the UE, the second time value to the NAS of the UE for enabling the NAS of the UE to apply the second time value to the MM back-off timer, wherein the first time value ranges from a first lower bound to a first upper bound, and the second time value ranges from a second lower bound to a second upper bound, and wherein the adjustment from the first time value to the second time value is performed based on a predetermined mapping rule.
