Abstract
A method for timer management in a radio link control (RLC) layer in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes activating, by an RLC entity, a timer at first time, in response to receiving a first set of data packets from at least one user equipment (UE) in an RLC receiving window and deactivating, by the RLC entity, the timer at second time, in response to receiving a second set of data packets from the at least one UE in the RLC receiving window. Further, the method includes determining, by the RLC entity, whether there is at least one missing data packet in the RLC receiving window, and reactivating the timer and prohibiting generation of a status report, in response to determining that there is the at least one missing data packet, or generating the status report, if there is no the at least one missing data packet.
