27、17-04)63GPP TS 36.360 version 14.0.0 Release 144 General 4.1 Introduction The objective is to describe the LWAAP architecture and the LWAAP entities from a functional point of view. 4.2 LWAAP architecture 4.2.1 LWAAP entities The description in this sub clause is a model and does not specify or rest

28、rict implementations. RRC is generally in control of the LWAAP configuration. Functions of the LWAAP sublayer are performed by LWAAP entities. For an LWAAP entity configured at the eNB, there is a peer LWAAP entity configured at the UE and vice versa. For all LWA bearers, there is one LWAAP entity i

29、n the eNB and one LWAAP entity in the UE. An LWAAP entity receives/delivers LWAAP SDUs from/to upper layers (i.e. PDCP) and sends/receives LWAAP PDUs to/from its peer LWAAP entity via WLAN: - At the transmitting side, when an LWAAP entity receives an LWAAP SDU from upper layers, it constructs the co

30、rresponding LWAAP PDU and delivers it to lower layers; - At the receiving side, when an LWAAP entity receives an LWAAP PDU from lower layers, it reassembles the corresponding LWAAP SDU and delivers it to upper layers. Figure 4.2.1-1 illustrates the overview model of the LWAAP sublayer. Figure 4.2.1-

31、1: Overview model of the LWAAP sublayer ETSI ETSI TS 136 360 V14.0.0 (2017-04)73GPP TS 36.360 version 14.0.0 Release 14An LWAAP entity delivers/receives the following LWAAP PDU to/from a lower layer entity: - LWAAP data PDU. 4.3 Services 4.3.1 Services provided to upper layers The following services

32、 are provided by LWAAP to upper layers (i.e. PDCP): - transfer of user plane data; 4.3.2 Services expected from lower layers The following services are expected by LWAAP from lower layers: - transfer of user plane data; 4.4 Functions The following functions are supported by the LWAAP sublayer: - tra

33、nsfer of user plane data; - identification of the LWA bearer to which the LWAAP SDU belongs; - enabling or disabling data handling for LWA bearer. 5 Procedures 5.1 Data transfer procedures 5.1.1 DL data transfer procedures When receiving an LWAAP data PDU from lower layers, the LWAAP entity in the U

34、E shall: - identify the upper layer entity to which the LWAAP SDU is destined based on the DRB ID included in the LWAAP header; - if the DRB ID belongs to LWA bearer for which DL data transfer procedures are enabled: - reassemble the LWAAP SDU from the LWAAP data PDU by removing the LWAAP header fro

35、m the LWAAP data PDU; - deliver the reassembled LWAAP SDU to the upper layer entity identified by the DRB ID. - else: - discard the LWAAP data PDU. 5.1.2 UL data transfer procedures When receiving an LWAAP data SDU from upper layers, the LWAAP entity in the UE shall: - identify the DRB ID of the upp

36、er layer entity from which the LWAAP SDU is received; - assemble the LWAAP data PDU from the LWAAP SDU by adding the LWAAP header to the LWAAP SDU; ETSI ETSI TS 136 360 V14.0.0 (2017-04)83GPP TS 36.360 version 14.0.0 Release 14- deliver the assembled LWAAP data PDU to the lower layers. 5.2 Handling

37、of unknown, unforeseen and erroneous protocol data When an LWAAP entity receives an LWAAP PDU that contains reserved or invalid values, the LWAAP entity shall: - discard the received PDU. 6 Protocol data units, formats and parameters 6.1 Protocol data units 6.1.1 General An LWAAP PDU is a bit string

38、 that is byte aligned (i.e. multiple of 8 bits) in length. In the figures in subclause 6.1, bit strings are represented by tables in which the most significant bit is the leftmost bit of the first line of the table, the least significant bit is the rightmost bit on the last line of the table, and mo

39、re generally the bit string is to be read from left to right and then in the reading order of the lines. The bit order of each parameter field within an LWAAP PDU is represented with the first and most significant bit in the leftmost bit and the last and least significant bit in the rightmost bit. A

40、n LWAAP SDU is a bit string that is byte aligned (i.e. multiple of 8 bits) in length. An LWAAP SDU is included into an LWAAP PDU from the first bit onward. The LWAAP entity shall ignore the value of Reserved bits in downlink LWAAP PDUs. Only one type of LWAAP PDU is defined, i.e. LWAAP data PDU. 6.1

41、2 LWAAP data PDU An LWAAP PDU consists of an LWAAP header and a Data field, as described in Figure 6.1.2-1. An LWAAP header is one byte, and consists of the four header fields R/R/R/DRBID. A Data field is of variable size, and consists of an LWAAP SDU. Figure 6.1.2-1: LWAAP data PDU 6.2 Formats and

42、 parameters 6.2.1 LWAAP header The LWAAP header consists of the following fields: - R: Reserved bit, set to “0“. The R field size is 1 bit; ETSI ETSI TS 136 360 V14.0.0 (2017-04)93GPP TS 36.360 version 14.0.0 Release 14- DRBID: The Data Radio Bearer ID field indicates the RRC configured DRB identity

43、 to which the corresponding LWAAP SDU belongs. The DRBID field size is 5 bits.
