Abstract
Abstract Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for retransmitting a failing RLP frame assigned with a new unique identifier agreed to between the transmitting and receiving RLP processors instead of the original sequence number. The receiving RLP processor requests the transmitting RLP processor to retransmit a failing RLP frame assigned with a new identifier determined by the receiving RLP processor. Responding to the request, the transmitting RLP processor retransmits the failing RLP frame assigned with the requested new identifier instead of the original sequence number.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
111 words
A method for requesting retransmission of a failing RLP (Radio Link Protocol) frame in a communications system that transmits a plurality of RLP frames, each frame having a frame sequence field for a frame sequence number, a data field for data, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a next RLP frame and storing the frame sequence number of the failing RLP frame in the frame sequence field of said next RLP frame; and transmitting a retransmission request frame containing the frame sequence number of said failing RLP frame and an identifier different from said frame sequence number, whereby the retransmitted RLP frame includes said identifier in the frame sequence field.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
111 words
A method for requesting retransmission of a failing RLP (Radio Link Protocol) frame in a communications system that transmits a plurality of RLP frames, each frame having a frame sequence field for a frame sequence number, a data field for data, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a next RLP frame and storing the frame sequence number of the failing RLP frame in the frame sequence field of said next RLP frame; and transmitting a retransmission request frame containing the frame sequence number of said failing RLP frame and an identifier different from said frame sequence number, whereby the retransmitted RLP frame includes said identifier in the frame sequence field.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
110 words
An apparatus for requesting retransmission of a failing RLP frame in a communications system that transmits a plurality of RLP frames, each frame having a frame sequence field for a frame sequence number, a data field for data, and a retransmission field for retransmission, comprising: a list for storing the frame sequence number of the failing RLP frame when receiving an RLP frame subsequent to the failing RLP frame; and a controller for generating a retransmission request frame containing the frame sequence number of said failing RLP frame and an identifier different from said frame sequence number, wherein the retransmitted RLP frame stores said identifier in the frame sequence field.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
110 words
