Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système de communication de 5e génération (5G) ou de pré-5G permettant de prendre en charge un débit de transfert de données supérieur à celui d'un système de communication de 4e génération (4G), tel qu'un système d'évolution à long terme (LTE). Selon divers modes de réalisation de la présente invention, un procédé de fonctionnement pour un émetteur dans un système de communication sans fil comprend les étapes consistant : à configurer un message de demande du rapport d'état d'un protocole de convergence de données par paquets (PDCP) ; à transmettre le message à un récepteur ; et à recevoir, du récepteur, le rapport d'état PDCP en vue d'une retransmission de données PDCP, conformément au message.
