Abstract:
1. A method that segments or concatenates radio link control (RLC) service data units (SDUs) into RLC protocol data units (PDUs), comprising: receiving a first RLC SDU; partitioning the first RLC SDU into a first RLC PDU and a second RLC PDU, the second RLC PDU being less than or equal to 2047 bytes; setting a length indicator (LI) field associated with the second RLC PDU to indicate the size of information contained in the second RLC PDU; concatenating the second RLC PDU with a third RLC PDU to form a concatenated RLC PDU, the third RLC PDU being partitioned from a second RLC SDU and the third RLC PDU being greater than or equal to one byte; and dispatching the first RLC PDU, the concatenated RLC PDU, and a fourth RLC PDU associated with the second RLC SDU, a size of the first RLC PDU being different than a size of the second RLC PDU.
