`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`Field of the Invention
`
`[0002]
`
`The present invention relates to a mobile communication technology, and more
`
`particularly, to a method for efficiently transmitting data stored in a message 3 (Ms g3) buffer and
`
`a user equipment for the same.
`
`Discussion of the Related Art
`
`[0003] As an example of a mobile communication system to which the present invention
`
`is applicable, a 3rd Generation Partnership Project Long Term Evolution (3GPP LTE)
`
`communication system will be schematically described.
`
`[0004]
`
`FIG.
`
`1
`
`is a schematic view showing the network architecture of an Evolved
`
`Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (E-UMTS) as an example of a mobile
`
`communication system.
`
`[0005]
`
`The E—UMTS is evolved from the existing UMTS and has been currently
`
`standardized in the 3GPP. Generally, the E-UMTS may be called an LTE system.
`
`Exhibit 2014-011
`
`Exhibit 2014-011
`
`

`

`Attorney Docket N0.: 0465—2287PUS3
`
`[0006] An E-UMTS network may be largely divided into an Evolved UMTS Terrestrial
`
`Radio Access Network (E—UTRAN) 101 and a Core Network (CN) 102. The E-UTRAN 101
`
`may include a User Equipment (UE) 103, a base station (hereinafter, referred to as an “eNode B”
`
`or “eNB”) 104, and an Access Gateway (AG) 105 positioned at the end of the network and
`
`connected to an external network. The AG 105 may be divided into a portion for processing user
`
`traffic and a portion for processing control traffic. At this time, an AG for processing new user
`
`traffic and an AG for processing control traffic may communicate with each other using a new
`
`interface.
`
`[0007]
`
`One or more cells may exist in one eNode B. A plurality of eNode Bs may be
`
`connected by an interface for transmitting the user traffic or control traffic. The CN 102 may
`
`include the AG 105 and a node for registering a user of the UE 103. An interface for
`
`distinguishing between the E-UTRAN 101 and the CN 102 may be used.
`
`[0008]
`
`Layers of radio interface protocol between the UE and the network may be
`
`classified into a first layer L1, a second layer L2 and a third layer L3 based on three lower layers
`
`of an Open System Interconnection (OSl) reference model that is widely known in the field of
`
`communication systems. A physical layer belonging to the first layer provides an information
`
`transfer service using a physical channel. A Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer belonging to
`
`the third layer serves to control radio resources between the UE and the network. The UE and
`
`the network exchange an RC message via the RRC layer. The RC layer may be distributed
`
`and located at network nodes of the eNode B 104 and the AG 105. Alternatively, the RRC layer
`
`may be located at only the eNode B 104 or the AG 105.
`
`[0009]
`
`FIGs. 2 and 3 show the structures of radio interface protocols between the UE and
`
`the UTRAN based on a 3GPP radio access network standard.
`
`Exhibit 2014-012
`
`Exhibit 2014-012
`
`

`

`Attorney Docket No.: 0465-2287PUS3
`
`[0010]
`
`The radio interface protocols of FIGs. 2 and 3 are horizontally formed of a
`
`physical layer, a data link layer and a network layer. The radio interface protocols are vertically
`
`formed of a user plane for transmitting data information and a control plane for transmitting
`
`control signals.
`
`In detail, FIG. 2 shows the layers of a radio protocol control plane and FIG. 3
`
`shows the layers of a radio protocol user plane. The protocol layers of FIGs. 2 and 3 may be
`
`divided into a first layer (L1), a second layer (L2) and a third layer (L3) based on three lower
`
`layers of an 081 reference model that is widely known in the field of communication systems.
`
`[0011] Hereinafter, the layers of the control plane of the radio protocol of FIG. 2 and the
`
`user plane of the radio protocol of FIG. 3 will be described.
`
`[0012] A physical (PHY) layer of the first layer provides an information transfer service
`
`to an upper layer using a physical channel. The PHY layer is connected to an upper layer, such
`
`as a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer, via a transport channel. Data is transferred between
`
`the MAC layer and the PHY layer via the transport channel. At this time, the transport channel
`
`is largely divided into a dedicated transport channel and a common transport channel, depending
`
`on whether or not a channel is shared. Data is also transferred between different PHY layers,
`
`such as a physical layer of a transmitting side and a physical layer of a receiving side, via a
`
`physical channel using radio resources.
`
`[0013] Various layers exist in the second layer. First, the MAC layer serves to map
`
`various logical channels to various transport channels and serves to multiplex several logical
`
`channels into one transport channel. The MAC layer is connected to a Radio Link Control
`
`(RLC) layer, which is an upper layer, by the logical channel. The logical channel may be largely
`
`divided into a control channel for transmitting information about the control plane and a traffic
`
`Exhibit 2014-013
`
`Exhibit 2014-013
`
`

`

`Attorney Docket No.: 0465-2287PUS3
`
`channel for transmitting information about the user plane according to the kinds of information
`
`transmitted.
`
`[0014]
`
`The RLC layer of the second layer serves to segment and concatenate data
`
`received from an upper layer so as to adjust data size such that a lower layer transmits data in a
`
`radio section. In addition, the RLC provides three modes, namely, a Transparent Mode (TM), an
`
`Unacknowledged Mode (UM) and an Acknowledged Mode (AM) in order to guarantee various
`
`Quality of Services (QoSs) requested by Radio Bearers (RBs).
`
`In particular, the AM RLC
`
`performs a retransmission function using an Automatic Repeat and Request (ARQ) function for
`
`reliable data transmission.
`
`[0015] A Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer of the second layer performs a
`
`header compression function to reduce the size of an Internet Protocol (IP) packet header that
`
`includes unnecessary control
`
`information and has a relatively large size,
`
`for effective
`
`transmission in a radio section having a relatively small bandwidth when transmitting an IP
`
`packet such as an IPv4 packet or an IPv6 packet. Therefore, only necessary information in a
`
`header portion of data is transmitted so as to improve transmission efficiency of the radio section.
`
`In the LTE system, the PDCP layer also performs a security function, which includes ciphering
`
`for preventing data from being intercepted by a third party and integrity protection for preventing
`
`data from being handled by a third party.
`
`[0016] A Radio Resource Control (RRC) located at a highest portion of the third layer is
`
`defined only in the control plane. The RC layer handles logical channels, transport channels
`
`and physical channels for the configuration, re—configuration and release of RBs. Here, the RBS
`
`refer to logical paths provided by the first and second layers of the radio protocol, for data
`
`transfer between the UE and the UTRAN, and the configuration of the RBs refers to a process of
`
`Exhibit 2014-014
`
`Exhibit 2014-014
`
`

`

`Attorney Docket No.: 0465-2287PUS3
`
`defining the characteristics of the radio protocol layer and channel necessary for providing a
`
`specific service, and setting detailed parameters and operation methods. Each of the RBs is
`
`divided into a signaling RB and a data RB. The SRB is used as a path for transmitting an RC
`
`message in the control plane (C-plane), and the DRB is used as a path for transmitting user data
`
`in the user plane (U-plane).
`
`[0017] Downlink transport channels for transmitting data from a network to a UE may
`
`include a Broadcast Channel (BCH) for transmitting system information and a downlink Shared
`
`Channel (SCH) for transmitting user traffic or a control message. The traffic or the control
`
`message of a downlink multicast or broadcast service may be transmitted Via the downlink SCH
`
`or via a separate Downlink Multicast Channel
`
`(MCH). Uplink transport channels for
`
`transmitting data from a UE to a network may include a Random Access Channel (RACH) for
`
`transmitting an initial control message and an uplink SCH for transmitting user traffic or a
`
`control message.
`
`[0018] Downlink physical channels for transmitting information transferred via the
`
`downlink transport channels in a radio section between a network and a UE may include a
`
`Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) for transmitting information about a BCH, a Physical
`
`Multicast Channel (PMCH) for transmitting information about an MCH, a Physical Downlink
`
`Shared Channel (PDSCH) for transmitting information about a PCH and a downlink SCH, and a
`
`Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) (also referred to as a DL Ll/L2 control channel)
`
`for transmitting control information provided by the first layer and the second layer, such as
`
`downlink (DL) or uplink (UL) scheduling grant information. Uplink physical channels for
`
`transmitting information transferred via the uplink transport channels in a radio section between
`
`a network and a UE may include a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) for transmitting
