Abstract:
1. An apparatus to handle received data blocks in a mobile communication system, the apparatus comprising: a HARQ unit transmitting an Acknowledgment (ACK) or a Negative Acknowledgment (NACK) for data blocks received from a physical layer and delivering the data blocks if the data blocks have no error; a reordering buffer receiving and delivering the data blocks for in-sequence delivery of the data blocks based on a transmission sequence number (TSN) of each data block, a next expected TSN (NET) and a receiver window having a lower edge and an upper edge; and a disassembly disassembling the data blocks received from the reordering buffer, wherein the receiver window is updated when the TSN of the data block is outside of the receiver window and the NET is set to the lower edge of the updated receiver window when the NET is below the updated receiver window.
