Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for retransmitting a failing RLP
frame assigned with a new unique identifier agreed to between the transmitting
and receiving RLP processors instead of the original sequence number. The receiving
RLP processor requests the transmitting RLP processor to retransmit a failing RLP
frame assigned with a new identifier determined by the receiving RLP processor.
Responding to the request, the transmitting RLP processor retransmits the failing
RLP frame assigned with the requested new identifier instead of the original sequence number.
