An apparatus and a method capable of effectively providing services in a mobile communication system, and a data processing method of a data reception apparatus are provided. The apparatus and method includes obtaining, by a first lower packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer and a second lower PDCP layer, a plurality of PDCP packet data units (PDUs) based on data received from a first base station (BS) and a second BS, parallel deciphering, by the first and second lower PDCP layers, the plurality of PDCP PDUs, transmitting, from the first and second lower PDCP layers to an upper PDCP layer, the plurality of deciphered PDCP PDUs, and reordering, by the upper PDCP layer, the plurality of deciphered PDCP PDUs.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration for a shared physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The UE may receive a first communication via the shared PDSCH and a first bearer based at least in part on the configuration, the first communication being one of a unicast communication or a multicast/broadcast communication. The UE may receive a second communication via the shared PDSCH and the first bearer or a second bearer based at least in part on the configuration, the second communication being the other of the unicast communication or the multicast/broadcast communication. Numerous other aspects are provided.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method and apparatus according to an embodiment may allow a terminal or a base station to configure parameters for supporting limited buffer rate matching (LBRM) by using higher layer signaling or enable a suitable configuration to be made in a case of not configuring parameters for supporting the LBRM using the higher layer signaling.

A data transmitting method, a data receiving method, a terminal device, and a network device are provided. The method includes: determining, by a terminal device, a target resource based on a time index and/or configuration information; and transmitting, by the terminal device, data to a network device on the target resource. The terminal device can control resource granularity of the target resource to meet transmission requirements of the terminal device, and can further avoid an actual data transmission process from occurring only on a same frequency domain resource and can further improve the frequency diversity gain in the non-slot transmission. In addition, randomness of interference can be enhanced as much as possible to avoid a same user from always or frequently being in conflict, so when a DMRS of the terminal device conflicts with that of other terminals, performance of user identification can be effectively improved.

A user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configuring the UE for Dual Connectivity (DC) with a Master Node-B (MN) and a Secondary Node-B (SN). The processing circuitry is to decode connection reconfiguration information received from the MN. The connection reconfiguration information includes signaling radio bearer type 3 (SRB3) configuration information. The SRB3 configuration information originating from the SN and configuring a SRB3, where the SRB3 is for direct communication between the UE and the SN. At least one of a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration completion message or a measurement report message is encoded for transmission to the SN.
