- SDAP is a protocol for encapsulating IP (Internet Protocol) packets specified in the NR of 3GPP.
- the data control unit, the link control unit, the access control unit, and the physical control unit are realized by the processing circuit shown in FIG.
- the data for the mobile terminal 101 input to the SDAP 405 is replicated in a plurality of packets by the PDCP 406 and transferred from the CU 404 to the DU 401, DU 402, and DU 403, respectively.
- the DU 401 divides the RLC PDU included in the packet by the RLC 407 into RLC SDUs (Service Data Units) and transfers them to the MAC 410.
- the MAC 410 determines a resource that can be transmitted and performs scheduling.
- the PHY413 converts the RLC SDU into a radio frequency signal and transmits the data to the mobile terminal 101.
- the DU 401 also performs the same data transmission process on the DU 402 and the DU 403. Further, the DU 402 and the DU 403 also perform the same data transmission processing as the DU 401.
- the RLC SDU is also called the first data.
- the RLC PDU is also called the second data.
- FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram showing a data flow of the wireless communication system 1 according to the first exemplary embodiment.
- the first data a transmitted from the RLC 407 of the eNB 103 is received by the RLC 418 of the mobile terminal 101 (step S1).
- the base station having the RLC 407 is also referred to as a first base station.
- RLC407 uses RLC SDU to generate RLC PDU.
- the data a is RLC SDU.
- Data including header information in one or more RLC SDUs is an RLC PDU.
- an ACK is transmitted from the RLC 418 of the mobile terminal 101 to the RLC 407 of the eNB 103 to inform that the reception has been normally performed (step S2).
- the RLC 418 transfers the data a to the PDCP 419 in the upper layer (step S3). After confirming that the data a has arrived from the RLC 418 first, the PDCP 419 sends a message to stop the retransmission request to the RLC 423 that has not yet transferred the data a (step S4). In other words, when the PDCP 419 receives the data a from any one of the plurality of DUs, the PDCP 419 transmits a retransmission request stop message for stopping the retransmission request of the data a to the RLC 423 that has not received the data a.
- the RLC 423 is also called a first link control unit.
- the RLC 407 of the eNB 103 transmits a delivery completion notification message to the PDCP 406 (step S5).
- the delivery completion notification message is a message notifying that the RLC 407 has completed transmission of the RLC PDU to the RLC 418.
- the PDCP406 Upon receiving the delivery completion notification, the PDCP406 transmits a retransmission stop message to the RLC 408 of the DU 402 that has not received the data a, that is, has not transmitted the delivery completion notification message (step S6).
- a base station having an RLC 408 is also referred to as a second base station.
- PDCP406 of CU404 uses a control message to RLC423 to transmit discard information indicating that data a has been discarded (step S7).
- the discard information includes the sequence number of the RLC SDU or RLC PDU for which retransmission has been stopped, and the RLC 423 can stop the retransmission request based on the discard information.
- the retransmission stop message includes a message for stopping the transmission of the RLC PDU including the transfer to the MAC.
- the retransmission stop message includes a message for stopping the transmission of the RLC SDU divided in the RLC 408 to the mobile terminal 101 or the transfer to the MAC 411.
- RLC423 stops the resend request of the corresponding RLC SDU or RLC PDU according to the resend request stop message.
- the notification of the discard information, which is the control message is transmitted from the PDCP406 and received by the RLC423 of the mobile terminal 101, but the retransmission request stop message is not received from the PDCP419 to the RLC423, the RLC423 does not follow the notification of the discard information.
- RLC 408 requests data retransmission.
- the RLC 423 When the RLC 423 receives the retransmission request stop message, but the data a is transmitted from the RLC 408, the RLC 423 receives the data a, generates the RLC PDU using the RLC SDU, and transfers the data a to the PDCP 419. To do.
- RLC408 If a retransmission stop message is sent from PDCP406 to RLC408 and RLC408 receives a retransmission request from RLC423 while RLC408 is discarding the RLC PDU or RLC SDU that is the target of retransmission stop, the RLC408 is the RLC SDU that is the target of retransmission stop. Or do not retransmit the RLC PDU.
- the data that arrives later for mobile terminal 101 is prevented from being retransmitted by eNB 103. It is possible to provide a communication system that suppresses the consumption of radio resources with the mobile terminal 101 and has high speed, high reliability, and low delay.
- FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a wireless communication system according to the second embodiment.
- RLC is divided into H-RLC and L-RLC.
- the mobile terminal 101a includes an upper link control unit 702 and lower link control units 701, 703, 704.
- the upper link control unit 702 performs H-RLC processing.
- the lower link control units 701, 703, and 704 perform L-RLC processing.
- the upper link control unit 702 is also called an H-RLC 702.
- the lower link control units 701, 703 and 704 are also called L-RLC 701, 703 and 704, respectively.
- FIG. 8 is a sequence diagram showing a data flow of the wireless communication system 1a according to the second embodiment.
- the data a transmitted from the RLC 407 is divided into one or a plurality of RLC SDUs and transmitted (step S11). It is assumed that one or more RLC SDUs are data b that is missing or corrupted during transmission from the eNB 103 to the mobile terminal 101.
- the L-RLC 701 sends the data b from the RLC SDU to the RLC PDU without combining it with the H-RLC 702 (step S12).
- the data a transmitted from the RLC 408 is divided into one or a plurality of RLC SDUs and transmitted to the L-RLC 703 (step S13). It is assumed that one or more RLC SDUs are missing or corrupted during transmission from the eNB 103 to the mobile terminal 101.
- the L-RLC 703 transfers the data c to the H-RLC 702 without combining the RLC SDU into the RLC PDU (step S14).
- L-RLC 701 and L-RLC 703 send ACK to RLC 407 and RLC 408, respectively, and RLC 407 and RLC 408 send a delivery completion notification to PCDP 406.
- the H-RLC 702 which has received the data from the L-RLC 701 and the L-RLC 703 combines the data b and the data c. That is, RLC PDUs are generated from RLC SDUs transmitted by multiple L-RLCs. Further, H-RLC702 synthesizes RLC SDUs having the same sequence number and generates RLC SDUs lacking each other.
- the PDCP 406 has a feature that the RLC 407 and the RLC 408 specify a size for dividing an RLC PDU into RLC SDUs to make RLC SDUs generated by two or more RLCs equal or the same.
- the data that arrives later for the mobile terminal 101a among the data of the packets duplicated by the PDCP 406 will be displayed.
- the eNB 103 By preventing the eNB 103 from retransmitting, it is possible to release a radio resource between one or more eNBs 103 and the mobile terminal 101a, and to provide a communication system having high speed, high reliability, and low delay.
