METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING FLOW OF DATA IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A system (100) and various methods and apparatus for efficient communication s of data across various protocol layers are disclosed. The system (100) includes a base station (101) for receiving radio link protocol (RLP) packet s of data over a physical layer protocol. A processor (401) is configured for passing, to a higher level protocol in network (105), the received in-sequen ce RLP packets of data, from the accumulated data in a re-sequencing buffer (480), without waiting for receiving retransmission of a missing RLP packet of data when the accumulated RLP packets of data exceeds an amount of data threshold without waiting for an elapsed time of an abort timer to exceed an abort period of time threshold.
