Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système de communication sans fil. Plus spécifiquement, la présente invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant d'effectuer un calcul de retard de paquet dans une entité PDCP dans un système de communication sans fil, le procédé comprenant les étapes consistant : à générer, par un émetteur de protocoles de convergence de données par paquets (PDCP), une unité de données de protocoles (PDU) comprenant un champs temporel ; et à émettre, par l'émetteur PDCP, la PDU de commande PDCP générée à un récepteur PDCP, une valeur du champ temporel étant réglée sur un temps lorsque la PDU de commande PDCP est générée.
