<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid transmission delays of status reports in user scheduling. <P>SOLUTION: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for processing error control messages, such as RLC ARQ control messages. An exemplary method comprises signaling a medium access controller (MAC) that link resources are needed for transmitting data, receiving an indication that link resources for transmitting the data are available from the MAC, and generating an error control message after receiving the indication, based on a current error control status. The error control message is then forwarded to the MAC for transmission. Because the generation of the error control message is delayed until resources for its transmission are available, the queuing of stale control messages is avoided. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
