Radio Link Control (RLC), Transparent Mode, Unacknowledged Mode, Acknowledged Mode.

The 3rd Generation Partnership Project(3GPP) has been working on the new mobile communication technology called Long Term Evolution(LTE ), from the previous years and has developed it. Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) and High-Speed Packet Access(HSPA) systems are presently prevalently-deployed systems and LTE provides a prodigious improvement in these standards . The Radio Link Control (RLC) is a part of the protocol stack in both the UE and the eNodeB which is defined on top of the Medium Access Control(MAC) layer. In this paper, we give an overview of the RLC architecture, three modes Transparent Mode(TM), Unacknowledged Mode(UM) and Acknowledged Mode(AM) and the comparison of LTE and HSPA. We also concentrate on the data structures, variables, constants and timers used in the RLC layer.
