Abstract
The transmission and retransmission of radio link control (RLC) data protocol data units (PDUs) is managed by user equipment (UE). An indication is received, by the UE, that an RLC data PDU was not received by a receiving device. The RLC data PDU, that was not received, is retransmitted and prioritized over other RLC data PDUs. A number of times that the RLC data PDU was retransmitted is tracked by the UE.
