A first channel for carrying Layer 2 messages carries data that will not be retransmitted and for which decoding-related information need not be retained by the receiving node in the event of an unsuccessful decoding of the data, while a second channel carries data that will be retransmitted in the event that a negative acknowledgement is received by the transmitting node. In an example method, first and second subsets of Layer 2 messages are received on first and second physical data channels, respectively. Decoding-related information for unsuccessfully decoded messages in the first subset is retained for use with subsequent retransmissions, while decoding-related information for unsuccessfully decoded messages in the second subset is discarded without waiting for retransmissions. Acknowledgements or negative acknowledgements are sent for messages in the first subset, but may or may not be sent for messages in the second subset, in various embodiments.

A method of controlling a data receiving rate by a terminal in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes determining whether a buffer overflow occurred based on at least one of a remaining capacity of a buffer or a capacity of data stored in the buffer, based on determining that the buffer overflow occurred, performing data discard or a request to stop a data transmission, from a lower entity of the terminal, and requesting data form a base station, in response to the buffer overflow being resolved.

An apparatus for transmitting packets by using a timer interrupt service routine is provided. When a task for transmitting a user datagram protocol (UDP) packet occurs while a central processing unit processes at least one task, the apparatus generates a timer interrupt event for each time set considering a packet transmission interval and calls a timer interrupt service routine, and transmits a UDP packet at equal intervals to a destination by using the timer interrupt service routine.

A source device connected to a sink device over a first wireless connection. The source device identifies a frame for retransmitting a voice packet associated with a real time application from the source device to the sink device, determines that a precedent operation is scheduled for the frame, delays the precedent operation to a subsequent frame, following the retransmitting of the voice packet and scheduling a retransmission operation for retransmitting the voice packet during the frame.

Methods, systems and apparatus are provided for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive, in a first subframe, downlink control information (DCI) including a grant for a physical downlink shared control channel (PDSCH) and an indication of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources. Further, the WTRU may receive, in the first subframe, data on the PDSCH based on the grant. Also, the WTRU may generate first acknowledgement (ACK)/negative ACK (NACK) information based on the data received on the PDSCH. Accordingly, the WTRU may transmit, in the first subframe, the first ACK/NACK information in a PUCCH transmission. In an example, the first ACK/NACK information may be transmitted in a time slot in the first subframe different from a time slot in the first subframe in which the DCI is received. Also, transmitting the PUCCH transmission may have a duration of one or two symbols.

A method for delivering payloads through an interface includes receiving an out-of-sequence data transfer unit, DTU; segmenting the out-of-sequence DTU into at least one data unit; determining at least one priority level of the at least one data unit; and for any particular data unit among the at least one data unit, (1)s electively forwarding a payload of the particular data unit to the interface in response to priority level thereof satisfying a priority condition; or (2) holding the particular data unit in response to the priority level thereof not satisfying the priority condition.

A transceiver associated with a wireline communication system is disclosed. The transceiver comprises one or more processors configured to associate a quality of service (QoS) grade tag to each data packet of a plurality of data packets to be transmitted and assemble a data transfer unit (DTU) comprising one or more or a part of a data packet of the plurality of data packets, wherein the one or more or the part of the data packet are encapsulated into a plurality of DTU frames within the DTU. The one or more processors is further configured to associate a highest DTU tag to the assembled DTU, wherein the highest DTU tag is indicative of a highest QoS grade associated with the DTU frames of the assembled DTU; and determine a schedule for transmission or retransmission of the assembled DTU, based on the highest DTU tag of the assembled DTU.

According to various examples, a communication device is described comprising a memory configured to store data received in one or more first transmissions of a transmission process according to a retransmission protocol, a receiver configured to receive a second transmission of data of the transmission process, a combiner configured to combine the data received in the second transmission with the data stored in the memory, a determiner configured to determine whether the second transmission was interfered by a communication resource deallocation and a controller configured to maintain data storage of the received data of the transmission process stored in the memory as received data of the transmission process if the second transmission was interfered by a communication resource deallocation.

An Internet of Things data transmission method includes sending, by a terminal device, a first data request to a server, and continuously receiving, by the terminal device, N data packets from the server. The first data request instructs the server to continuously send a plurality of data packets. The first data request includes a quantity N of data packets, that the terminal device is capable of continuously receiving, and a time interval for sending two consecutive data packets, where N is an integer greater than 1. The N data packets include at least one non-confirmable Constrained Application Protocol (NON) data packet, a sending time interval between two consecutive data packets in the N data packets and the at least one NON data packet indicates that sending a receiving response from the terminal device to the server is unnecessary.

A method includes: a terminal device may determine, based on a type of downlink control information DCI, whether data scheduled by using the DCI exists on a preempted time-frequency resource, to determine whether the data transmitted on the preempted time-frequency resource needs to participate in data decoding.
