Abstract:
Embodiments concern indication of extent of out-of-sequencing for multi-connectivity. While receiving control plane or user plane packets from multi-connectivity legs, a specific user-plane packet may be determined to be an out-of-sequence packet if the packet is received too early or too late. The receiver may keep a per-leg counter of number of out-of-sequence packets and a total count of packet received. An indication message may be sent to indicate multi-connectivity legs which are generating early or late packets. The sender then may adjust its data flow partitioning policy across multi-connectivity legs until the percentage or fraction of out-of-sequence packets is below a desired threshold.

Claim (Index 41):
An apparatus comprising:\n at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:\n determine whether a packet is out-of-sequence relative to packets from at least one multi-connectivity leg based on sequence numbers of packets received from a sender; \n record a measure of the out-of-sequence packet and a measure of the received packets for the at least one multi-connectivity leg; and \n transmit an out-of-sequence indication message to the sender.
