Patent ID: 11088958

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services.A method for processing data by a reception device and the reception device are provided. The method includes receiving a radio link control (RLC) packet data unit (PDU), transferring an RLC service data unit (SDU) acquired from the RLC PDU from an RLC layer to a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer regardless of a number of the RLC PDU, and deciphering the RLC SDU. The reception device includes a transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals; and a controller configured to receive an RLC PDU, transfer an RLC SDU acquired from the RLC PDU from an RLC layer to a PDCP layer regardless of a number of the RLC PDU, and decipher the RLC SDU.
