TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING A PDCP LAYER STATUS REPORT IN A MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM
First Claim
1. Apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
at least one memory including computer program code, the memory and the computer program code configured to, working with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following;
generate a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) control packet data unit (PDU) to communicate a status report over a PDCP mobile communications protocol layer for one or more PDCP service data units (SDUs) received from a transmitting node,wherein the PDCP control PDU includes a data/control (D/C) bit field to indicate the PDCP control PDU is a control PDU, a control PDU type field to indicate a type of corresponding control information, a sequence number field to indicate a first missing PDCP SDU, and a bitmap field for a variable length bitmap,wherein a specific bit in the variable length bitmap indicates whether a corresponding one of the one or more PDCP SDUs has been successfully been received, anda transmitter to transmit the PDCP control PDU to the transmitting node.

Abstract
A PDCP status report can be transmitted with reduced radio resources by transmitting the reception success or failure of a series of PDCP service data units (SDUs) in the form of a bitmap when configuring the PDCP status report. A PDCP control packet data unit (PDU) is generated to communicate a status report to a transmitting node for one or more PDCP SDUs transmitted from the transmitting node. The PDCP control PDU includes a data/control (D/C) bit field to indicate the PDCP control PDU is a control PDU, a control PDU type field to indicate a type of corresponding control information, a sequence number field to indicate a first missing PDCP SDU, and a bitmap field for a variable length bitmap. A bit in the variable length bitmap indicates whether a corresponding one of the one or more PDCP SDUs has been successfully been received.
