Abstract
A method and apparatus for transmitting a packet from a transmitter entity to a receiver entity in a wireless communication system are disclosed. A transmitting entity includes a radio link control (RLC) sublayer and lower layers including a medium access control (MAC) sublayer and a physical layer, where the RLC sublayer provides a protocol data unit (PDU) to the lower layers for transmission. The lower layers using a HARQ entity transmit the PDU to the receiving entity. The RLC sublayer in the transmitting entity, without an indication from an RLC sublayer of the receiving entity, provides the PDU in response to an indication from the lower layers for retransmission.
