Abstract

A method for managing a packet in a system supporting network coding includes receiving, from a relay, information on a packet to which the network coding is applied, receiving, from the relay, the packet to which the network coding is applied, confirming whether a packet required for an operation of the UE can be acquired from the received packet on the basis of information on the packet to which the network coding is applied, and storing packets into different buffers by distinguishing between the packet required for the operation of the UE and a packet not required for the operation of the UE. Other embodiments including an apparatus for managing a packet are also disclosed.
