If UE is in AM mode then it might leads to an packet loss during RLF? how to avoid this scenario?

While UE in CDRX and eNB receive NACK instead of ACK from UE. After UE sends HARQ feedback UE is not expecting an Retransmission and moved to DRX OFF. But eNB is retranmitting it, How UE handles this?

Mostly, the MAC control header for contention resolution is of 56-bits(1-byte for DL contention resolution ID+6-bytes for subPdu len of UE-contention resolution id). Please find the below details for your reference.


Source = \Protocol\3GPP\LTE\MAC\Entity Id 17
Destination = \Protocol\3GPP\LTE\PHY\Entity Id 2
Transport Blocks
Transport Block 1 (Codeword 0) Len = 7 =
MAC subheader 1, type: MCE (DL CONTENTION RESOLUTION ID), sub-header length: 1 =
LCID = 28 (DL CONTENTION RESOLUTION ID)
E = 0
R = 0
SubPdu Len = 6
UE Contention Resolution ID = 5E,0E,95,0C,02,C6


Secondly, when does this header if of more than 56-bits as below. 56-bits for contention resolution and 16-bits for padding. Why does the TB1 size is changed?


Source = \Protocol\3GPP\LTE\MAC\Entity Id 17
Destination = \Protocol\3GPP\LTE\PHY\Entity Id 2
Transport Blocks
Transport Block 1 (Codeword 0) Len = 15 =
MAC subheader 1, type: MCE (DL CONTENTION RESOLUTION ID), sub-header length: 1 =
LCID = 28 (DL CONTENTION RESOLUTION ID)
E = 1
R = 0
SubPdu Len = 6
UE Contention Resolution ID = 40,10,00,00,00,16
MAC subheader 2, type: Padding, sub-header length: 1 =
LCID = 31
E = 0
R = 0
