Patent ID: 8681608

Claim:
A method for transmitting a status report by a user equipment (UE) in a mobile telecommunications system, comprising: (A) receiving, by a radio resource control (RRC) entity of the UE, a threshold value related to a status report from a network, wherein the threshold value is decided by the network; (B) receiving, by a radio link control (RLC) entity of the UE, data transmitted from the network and storing the data in a reception buffer of the UE; and (C) determining, by the radio link control (RLC) entity of the UE, whether to transmit the status report to the network by checking a total amount of the data stored in the reception buffer of the UE and the threshold value, wherein the threshold value is a predetermined value indicating a ratio of the total byte size of data stored in the reception buffer of the UE to a total byte size of the reception buffer of the UE, wherein the total amount of the data stored in the reception buffer of the UE is expressed as a calculated ratio of the total amount of the data stored in the reception buffer of the UE to a total size of the reception buffer of the UE, wherein the status report is transmitted to the network if the calculated ratio is equal to or larger than the threshold value.
