Abstract: A method, performed by a user equipment (UE), of transmitting and receiving signals in a wireless communication system, according to an embodiment, includes receiving a logical channel release request from a next-generation node B (gNB), determining a logical channel to release, an operation mode of the logical channel to release, and whether a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer apparatus connected to the logical channel is re-established, based on the logical channel release request, and performing PDCP data recovery based on the determination result.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided in a wireless communication system. Packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) configuration information that configures a PDCP entity of the terminal to use an uplink data compression (UDC) is received from a base station. The PDCP entity generates a UDC header and a UDC data block, based on the PDCP configuration information. The PDCP entity ciphers the UDC header and the UDC data block. The PDCP entity generates PDCP data including a PDCP header, the ciphered UDC header and the ciphered UDC data block. The generated PDCP data is transmitted to the base station. A header compression is not configured in case that the UDC is configured.
