1. A method performed by a transmitter, the method comprising:
receiving a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) service data unit (SDU) from an upper layer;
in case that a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) control protocol data unit (PDU) is included in the PDCP SDU, determining, by a PDCP layer, to not perform uplink data compression (UDC) and not perform ciphering on the SDAP control PDU;
in case that a SDAP data PDU is included in the PDCP SDU, performing, by the PDCP layer, UDC on the data of the PDCP SDU to generate a UDC block and a UDC header for the UDC block;
performing ciphering on the UDC header and the UDC block;
generating a PDCP header; and
submitting, to a lower layer, a PDCP protocol data unit (PDU) including the PDCP header, a SDAP header, and the ciphered UDC header and UDC block, based on the SDAP data PDU being included in the PDCP SDU,
wherein the SDAP header is positioned after the PDCP header, and
wherein the ciphered UDC header and UDC block are positioned after the SDAP header.
