Title: Packet management in a cellular communications network
Inventor: OLIVIER MARCO
IPC: H04W80/02
Filed: 2018-09-27
Abstract: A method to transmit Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) Protocol Data Units (PDU) in a cellular wireless network that comprises a plurality of nodes that support integrated wireless access and backhaul (IAB). PDCP PDUs are received at an access node for delivery to an attached user equipment (UE). The PDCP PDUs are rearranged into the correct delivery order for transmission to the UE without terminating the PDCP layer towards an IAB donor node that interfaces to the core network. The reordering may be based upon PDCP sequence numbers (SN) or GPRS Tunnelling Protocol (GTP) SNs. Such re-sequencing of PDCP PDUs may be required, for example, following the handover of a UE between nodes. The access node may be configured with a maximum reordering window size and a maximum delay for which to wait for out-of-order PDUs. The advantage of the invention is that extant Long Term Evolution (LTE) UEs that cannot reorder PDCP PDUs may be backhauled over a New Radio (NR) Radio Access Network (RAN).
