Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus are disclosed relating to ciphering and de-ciphering of packet units in wireless devices during retransmission in wireless communications. The packet units are re-segmented with the ciphering done on the re-segmented packet unit or on a radio link control protocol data unit (RLC PDU) with or without segmentation. Alternatively, the re-segmentation is done on the radio link control service data unit (RLC SDU) with or without segmentation. Alternatively, the ciphering process and multiplexing of the RLC PDU is done in the medium access control (MAC) layer of a MAC PU before undergoing a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process for retransmission. Further, the ciphering process in the RLC is done on a packet data convergence protocol packet data unit (PDCP PDU).
