Abstract:
According to an aspect, a UE in an uplink split-bearer configuration is configured to transmit PDUs by a first RLC entity via a first uplink transmission path and/or by a second RLC entity via a second uplink transmission path. The UE determines a total amount of data volume from PDCP data volume and RLC data volume pending for initial transmission in the two RLC entities. The UE decides whether submission of PDCP data volume is allowed to either of the two RLC entities or to only the first RLC entity, based on whether the total amount of data volume meets or exceeds a first threshold. The UE also reports the PDCP data volume to both the first and second uplink transmission paths or only the first uplink transmission path, based on whether the total amount of data volume meets or exceeds a first threshold.

Claim (Index 17):
A user equipment (UE) configured to transmit packet data units (PDUs) by a first Radio Link Control (RLC) entity via a first uplink transmission path and/or by a second RLC entity via a second uplink transmission path, the UE comprising:\n transceiver circuitry configured to send and receive radio signals; and processing circuitry operatively associated with the transceiver circuitry and configured to:\n determine a total amount of data volume buffered for PDU transmission, wherein the total amount of data volume comprises Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) data volume and RLC data volume pending for initial transmission in the two RLC entities; and \n decide whether submission of the PDCP data volume is allowed to either of the two RLC entities or to only the first RLC entity, based on whether the total amount of data volume meets or exceeds a first threshold, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:\n in response to determining that the total amount of data volume meets or exceeds the first threshold, decide that the PDCP data volume is allowed to be submitted to either of the two RLC entities, and \n in response to determining that the total amount of data volume does not meet the first threshold, decide that the PDCP data volume is allowed to be submitted to only the first RLC entity.
