Question

When LTE RLC layer re-transmission reach max number, what we do in eNodeB?

In UE side, UE will send RRC connection Re-establishment to eNodeB. But in eNodeB, seems no related description, just say report indication to high layer.

I think, e NodeB should release the RRC Connection. Its similar to what the UE would do (Re-establishment). There is no point in keeping the RRC Connection once max-re-transmission at RLC has reached. Once done, if the UE has UL data it will initiate a new RRC Connection, else if eNodeB has DL data it shall Page the UE.
