1. A method, comprising:
- determining that a full packet data convergence protocol status report does not fit into a single packet data convergence protocol control protocol data unit;
generating a partial packet data convergence protocol status report that fits into the single packet data convergence protocol control protocol data unit, wherein the partial packet data convergence protocol status report is based on a truncated bitmap or is based on a selected bitmap minimizing a number of useless retransmissions relative to other bitmaps that could have been selected, and wherein, in response to the partial packet data convergence protocol status report being based on the truncated or selected bitmap, a starting point of the bitmap is indicated in the packet data convergence protocol control protocol data unit for a packet data convergence protocol status report separately from a first missing packet data convergence protocol service data unit indication in the control protocol data unit; and
sending the single packet data convergence protocol control protocol data unit containing the partial packet data convergence protocol status report.

Abstract
A method includes determining that a full PDCP status report does not fit into a single PDCP Control PDU, generating a partial PDCP status report that fits into the single PDCP Control PDU, and sending the single PDCP Control PDU containing the partial PDCP status report. Another method includes receiving a PDCP Control PDU where the maximum size thereof is limited, and determining that the received PDCP Control PDU contains a partial PDCP status report instead of a complete PDCP status report. Apparatus, program products, programs, UEs, base stations, and a communication system are also disclosed.
