<p>The present invention relates to a synchronization method and apparatus, wherein a first end point entering a connection mode change state transmits a request message to a second end point. The second endpoint enters the connection mode change state in response to the receipt of the request message and transmits an acknowledgment and a numbered frame to the first end point. Having received the acknowledgment, the first endpoint leaves the connection mode change state and transmits an aknowledgment acknowledging the numbered frame to the second end point which leaves the connection mode change state in response to the receipt of the acknowledgment. Thus, the receipt of the acknowledgment acknowledging the numbered frame is received by the second end point irrespective of a DTX condition at the first end point, since a numbered frame is always acknowledged.</p> |
