Assignee: QUALCOMM INCORPORATED
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC H

Claim 16:
17. An apparatus configured for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory storing processor-readable code that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the apparatus to perform operations including:
receiving, by a first network entity from a second network entity, an Ethernet frame over a wireless link, the Ethernet frame including an Ethernet header and an Ethernet payload;
determining, based, at least in part, on the Ethernet header of the Ethernet frame, whether a hyper frame number (HFN) synchronization failure in a current communication session between the first network entity and the second network entity has occurred, wherein a current HFN at the first network entity and a current HFN at the second network entity are not synchronized to each other when the HFN synchronization failure in the current communication session has occurred; and
performing, in response to a determination that the HFN synchronization failure has occurred, a resynchronization procedure to synchronize the current HFN at the first network entity to the current HFN at the second network entity.
