Claim 4:
5. A method, comprising:
determining, by a network node, to apply selective reordering of data units at a user equipment; and
indicating the decision to apply selective reordering to the user equipment,
wherein the selective reordering temporarily alters packet data convergence protocol window behavior in the user equipment such that a packet data convergence protocol layer in the user equipment delivers, to upper layer(s), at least one of stored data units with an associated count value that is less than the count value associated with a data unit at the user equipment or stored data units with consecutively associated count values starting from the count value associated with a data unit at the user equipment, and
wherein the indicating comprises indicating the decision to apply the selective reordering in an R bit of a header of the data unit.
