METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DATA MANAGEMENT THROUGH TIMER COMPENSATION IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for data management through timer compensation in a wireless communication system. The method for data management in a wireless communication system comprises: a step of checking whether data loss has occurred and a timer is in operation upon occurrence of data loss at a first time; a step of checking whether the timer in operation stops or expires at a second time; a step of compensating a timer value with consideration of the time difference between the first time and the second time when the timer stops or expires at the second time; and a step of re-starting the timer for the data loss at the first time, on the basis of the timer value compensated in the previous step, whereby minimizing delay of request time for re-transmission of lost data in an RLC layer.
