Claim 8:
9. A method for enhancing system performance in 5G modes, said method comprising:
i) storing in a Radio Link Control (RLC) layer a RLC PDU list of Protocol data units (PDUs);
ii) when a size of a next available PDU in the RLC PDU list is greater than a remaining grant of a first transmission block, scanning the RLC PDU list one-by-one for up to a fixed maximum number of PDUs to locate a PDU that best fits the remaining grant, as determined based on sizes of the scanned PDUs; and
iii) if located, appending the PDU that best fits the remaining grant to the first transmission block, and if no best fit PDU is located as a result of scanning the fixed maximum number of PDUs, appending a segment of the next available PDU to the first transmission block; and
iv) transmitting the first transmission block to a Media Access Control (MAC) layer.
