Abstract
A method and apparatus for forwarding data in a wireless communication system is provided. A small cell receives an indication which indicates stopping serving a small cell service from a macro eNodeB (eNB). Upon receiving the indication, the small cell starts to forward data to the macro eNB together with a sequence number (SN) status transfer message. The indication may be received via a form of a message or a form of an information element (IE) in a message.
