Abstract
To facilitate LWA PDCP setting/scheduling, a method of providing dynamic PDCP status report polling is proposed. To enhance scheduling efficiency, the transmitter (can be eNB from DL or UE for UL) can dynamically poll PDCP status report for LWA behavior. The polling can be done by a standalone PDCP control PDU or use reserved bit in PDCP data PDU. The triggering condition for PDCP status polling includes: PDCP without poll time exceeds a first threshold, PDCP without poll bytes exceeds a second threshold, PDCP without poll PDU numbers exceeds a third threshold, a data buffer is empty, and when LWA is deactivated.
