METHODS, DEVICES, AND MEDIUM FOR COMMUNICATION

原文（中文）

Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices, and computer storage medium for communication. The method comprises: receiving, at a terminal device from a network device, at least one of the following parameters associated with a protocol data unit (PDU) set: a first parameter indicating whether all PDUs in the PDU set are needed by an application layer; a second parameter indicating whether the PDU set is to be discarded when an additional PDU set associated with the PDU set is lost or discarded; a third parameter indicating a discard timer for the PDU set; or a fourth parameter indicating a reordering timer for the PDU set, and processing the PDU set based on the received at least one of the parameters. In this way, packet processing with PDU set granularity is supported, and PDU-set based handling is also supported. Therefore, communication quality and network performance are improved.
