Abstract:
1. A telecommunications system comprising: a telecommunications network device having a radio interface and a layered protocol architecture for allowing transfer of upper layer Protocol Data units using a shared medium between a communications unit and the telecommunications network device, wherein said layered protocol architecture is operative for coding and transferring Protocol Data Units as a plurality of Radio Link Control data blocks that each carry at least one Logical Link Control Protocol Data Unit (LLC PDU) and a data block header that includes a delimiter as a length indicator (LI), wherein any last Logical Link Control Protocol Data Unit of a Radio Link Control data block has no delimiter and when a last Logical Link Control Protocol Data Unit fills the balance of the Radio Link Control data block, the length indicator is zero having no data for a first length indicator in any next in sequence Radio Link Control data block, wherein said data block header includes a Final Block Indicator (FBI) field to indicate whether the Radio Link Control data block is the last data block of a Temporary Block Flow.
