Abstract

A method and device for indicating data re-transmission when area switching in LTE system, wherein the method comprises the following steps: S_eNB sends PDCP-SDU CN report to T_eNB in order to announce PDCP-SDU SN received, and T_eNB announces PDCP-SDU SN received by S_eNB to UE. Thereby, UE would not re-transmit PDCP-SDU corresponding to received SN, which avoids re-transmission of useless PDCP-SDU, and saves radio resources comparing with prior solutions.
