Claim:
1. A method of generating, by a single radio link control (RLC) entity, lower layer blocks using data segments from higher layer packets for transmission of the higher layer packets from a transmitter to a receiver, the method comprising: encapsulating a final data segment of a first higher layer packet associated with a higher priority first packet flow context (PFC) together with a remaining data segment of a second higher layer packet associated with a lower priority second PFC in a final higher priority data block; including a transition indicator with the final higher priority data block to indicate a transition within the final higher priority data block from the first higher layer packet to the second higher layer packet; and transmitting the final higher priority data block to the receiver to complete a transmission of the first higher layer packet and to resume the transmission of the second higher layer packet.
