An information processing device includes a control unit. The control unit performs control to restrict retransmission of data or transmission of a request for an acknowledgment of receipt of the retransmission data, in accordance with the congestion status of a wireless transmission traffic. The control unit also performs control to transfer acquired data to an upper layer in case of having successfully acquired the data up to a predetermined sequence number in multicast data transmitted from another device that restricts retransmission of data in accordance with the congestion status of a wireless transmission traffic. The device can prevent decreases in the total throughput in a network.

A radio communication device is disclosed that transmits and receives protocol data units in a packet data convergence protocol layer located above a radio link control layer. The radio communication device includes a processor that generates a status report indicating reception status of the protocol data units in the packet data convergence protocol layer and a transmitter that transmits the status report in the packet data convergence protocol layer to a destination radio communication device. If a size of a protocol data unit that includes the status report exceeds a predetermined threshold, the processor sets the size of the protocol data unit to the predetermined threshold and the transmitter transmits the protocol data unit having the set size to the destination radio communication device.

[Object] To provide a mechanism capable of improving the efficiency of wireless communication even in a case in which the sequence numbers of received data units are non-sequential. [Solution] A wireless communication device including: a processing unit that generates a protocol data unit (PDU) that has sequence information with which a sequence number of a data unit that is determined as being to be resent is specified; and a communication unit that transmits the PDU generated by the processing unit. A wireless communication device including: a communication unit that receives a protocol data unit (PDU) that has sequence information with which a sequence number of a data unit that is determined as being to be resent is specified; and an acquisition unit that acquires the sequence information from the PDU received by the communication unit.

A method for transmitting an RLC layer status report control PDU is provided, which includes: receiving, by a user equipment, configuration information sent by a network device, wherein the configuration information includes at least one control PDU format; selecting, by the user equipment, a control PDU format from the at least one control PDU format to generate a status report control PDU, and reporting the status report control PDU. A related device is also provided.

A base station is configured to control a wireless communications network cell of a wireless communications network. The base station is configured to establish a connection to a first user equipment and to a second user equipment using a random access process. For establishing the connection to the first user equipment, the base station is configured to use a sequence of a first random access preamble, the sequence having a first length. For establishing the connection of the second user equipment, the base station is configured to use a sequence of a second random access preamble, the sequence having a second length.

A method performed by a first network node, for transmitting a RLC UM, PDU, to a second network node is provided. The first network node and second network node operate in a wireless communications network. When detected that the RLC UM PDU has failed to be transmitted over a first channel, the first network node decides to redirect the RLC UM PDU to be transmitted over a second channel. The first network node divides the RLC UM PDU into two or more re-segmented RLC UM PDUs. The first network node then transmits the re-segmented RLC UM PDUs to the second network node over the second channel. Each re-segmented RLC UM PDU comprises the following indications: (a) that the re-segmented RLC UM PDU is re-segmented, (b) an order indicator related to the re-segmented RLC UM PDU, and (c) whether or not the re-segmented RLC UM PDU is a last re-segmented RLC UM PDU out of the two or more re-segmented RLC UM PDUs.

A high throughput communication apparatus which provides low frame error rates (FER). Error checking encoder and decoders which each comprise a plurality of short blocklength error checking encoders or decoders, respectively, in parallel, coupled through common incremental redundancy. Short-blocklength codes are utilized to achieve communication capacity with incremental redundancy. The system can transmit and decode a large number of short-blocklength codewords in parallel, while it delivers incremental redundancy, without feedback, only to the decoders that need incremental redundancy.

Embodiments are provided for indicating response frame types according to response frame durations in a wireless network. The embodiments include defining a plurality of response frame types in accordance to different transmission durations. The different response frame types are assigned corresponding indication values. When transmitting a current frame to a receiver entity, a transmitter entity selects a response frame type from the defined response frame types, and indicates in the current frame the selected response frame type using the assigned indication value. When a third entity receives the current frame, the third entity waits for a time period about equal to a predefined inter-frame and backoff time before transmitting a new frame. Upon determining that the indication value in the current frame is for sending a response frame, the third entity also waits an additional time period about equal to the transmission duration of the indicated response frame type.
