Abstract

For switching between packet duplication operating modes, methods, apparatus, and systems are disclosed. One apparatus includes a processor and a transceiver that communicates with a mobile communication network via a radio bearer. The processor determines whether PDCP packet duplication associated with the PDCP protocol entity is to be activated and, if so, communicates with a mobile communication network according to a packet duplication mode of operation. Otherwise, the processor determines whether a split threshold value of the PDCP protocol entity is set to a predefined value, communicates with the mobile communication network according to a first split bearer mode of operation in response to determining that the split threshold value is set to the predefined value, and communicates with the mobile communication network according to a second split bearer mode of operation in response to determining that the split threshold value is not set to the predefined value.
