Abstract  Abstract

A method and apparatus for supporting uplink (UL) protocol changes includes reconfiguring a medium access control (MAC) protocol from a first MAC protocol to a second MAC protocol. A hybrid automatic repeat request (HARD) process associated with the first MAC protocol is flushed and a MAC-e/es reset is performed. Segments of a MAC-e/es packet data unit (PDU) that are contained in a segmentation entity are discarded.
