Abstract
A communications apparatus includes a receiver and a processor. The receiver is configured to receive wireless signals. The wireless signals include a plurality of packets. The processor is coupled to the receiver and includes a first logic configured to perform operations of a first protocol layer and a second logic configured to perform operations of a second protocol layer higher than the first protocol layer. The operations of the first protocol layer includes: starting a timer in response to receiving a first packet with a first count value that is different from a deliver count value; and delivering a second packet with a second count value that is different from the deliver count value to the second logic before the timer expires.
