Abstract:
A method for formatting a signal in a mobile communication system by appending a plurality of medium access control headers to a plurality of medium access control-service data units for data transfer between a mobile station and network in said mobile communication system, comprising:a) if said service data units have the same characteristics, forming a medium access control-protocol data unit by successively coupling each of said service data units to any one of said medium access control headers; and b) transforming the formed protocol data unit into a transport block with a predetermined size wherein each of said medium access control headers include: a mobile identifier region for in-band identification; a medium access control-service access point identifier region for multiplexing a logical channel for service data with a corresponding one of said medium access control headers a radio link control-user plane identifier region for multiplexing a radio link control-user entity; a medium access control-service data unit length region and a medium access control-service data unit extension region or a medium access control-service data unit number region for cooperating to send said service data; and a frame format identifier region for transfer of information to a higher layer and contention resolution.
