1. A method for retransmitting protocol data unit (PDU) in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:
- generating a plurality of second PDUs for retransmission from a first PDU to be retransmitted if the first PDU does not fit within a size of PDU indicated by a lower layer, wherein each of the plurality of second PDUs fits within the size indicated by the lower layer, andtransmitting each second PDU to a receiving side,wherein the generating of the plurality of second PDUs for retransmission comprises segmenting only the data field of the first PDU to form the at least one data field of each of the plurality of second PDUs, and setting the header of each of the plurality of second PDUs,wherein the header of each of the plurality of second PDUs includes a field indicating that the respective second PDU is segmented from the first PDU.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, a method for retransmitting a protocol data unit (PDU) in a mobile communication system includes: segmenting a first PDU to form one or more second PDUs if the first PDU does not fit within a PDU size indicated by a lower layer; and transmitting the one or more second PDUs to a receiving side. Segmenting the first PDU includes: mapping only a data field of the first PDU to a data field of the one or more second PDUs; and setting a header of each of the one or more second PDUs. The header of each of the one or more second PDUs includes a field indicating a sequence number of the first PDU.

6. A user equipment for transmitting protocol data unit (PDU) in a mobile communication system, the user equipment comprising:
-
a transmitter; and a processor operatively connected to the transmitter and configured to; generate a plurality of second PDUs for retransmission from a first PDU to be retransmitted by segmenting only the data field of the first PDU to form the at least one data field of each of the plurality of second PDUs and setting the header of each of the plurality of second PDUs if the first PDU does not fit within a size of PDU indicated by a lower layer, wherein each of the plurality of second PDUs fits within the size indicated by the lower layer; and transmit each second PDU to a network, wherein the header of each of the plurality of second PDUs includes a field indicating that the respective second PDU is segmented from the first PDU. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
