A method for initiating a storage window of a receiving end (200) in a wireless communications system, which periodically retransmits data packets in an unacknowledged mode, includes after a receiving entity of the receiving end is established, re-established, or after a timer expires (402), initiating a state variable, which is defined to be a sequence number of the highest numbered packet that has been received, according to a sequence number of a received packet (404, 406). An example of the wireless communications system is the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) with a multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) application. |
