Claim Text:
1. A method of transmitting a data block in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: selecting a bit length for a length indicator in accordance with an instruction; generating a Radio Link Control (RLC) Protocol Data Unit (PDU) comprising a header and a data field, the header comprising M length indicators, where M≧2, the data field comprising M+1 data field elements, and transmitting, by a transmitter, the RLC PDU to a receiver, wherein m-th length indicator indicates a length in bytes of m-th data field element, where m=1, . . . , M, wherein each data field element includes a RLC Service Data Unit (SDU) or a RLC SDU segment, wherein each length indicator indicates a length of a RLC SDU or a RLC SDU segment of corresponding data field element, wherein m-th length indicator indicates a distance between an end of (m−1)-th data element and a start of (m+1)-th data element, where m=2, . . . , M, and wherein the selection of the bit length for each of the M length indicators comprises selecting the bit length from amongst a plurality of bit length values including 11 bits and 15 bits.
