In one example, when a UE ceases listening to a downlink channel from a first cell provided by a Node B and starts to configure its receiver to listen to a downlink channel from a second cell provided by the Node B, a continued incrementing of a sequence number may be stalled in the transmission of packets to the UE. That is, the TSN space may be stalled, such that HARQ retransmissions recur beyond the preconfigured maximum number of retransmissions, until the UE indicates that the serving cell change is complete.

In another example, a serving cell change procedure may include steps to flush a queue at the MAC entity and kill any running reordering release timers. In these ways potential problems caused by out-of-order control packets can be reduced or avoided. | 06-14-2012 |
