Abstract:
1. A method of processing data units in a mobile communications system, the method comprising: receiving a plurality of size information for a Radio Link Control (RLC) Protocol Data Unit (PDU) from a Radio Resource Control (RRC) entity; generating the RLC PDU from at least one RLC Service Data Unit (SDU), wherein a size of the RLC PDU is configured depending on the received one of the plurality of size information for the RLC PDU; and transferring the RLC PDU to a Medium Access Control (MAC) entity, wherein the RLC PDU is transferred to the MAC entity via a logical channel, wherein the MAC entity generates a MAC-hs PDU including the RLC PDU, wherein the generated MAC-hs PDU corresponds to a specific queue used for a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service, wherein a size of each header field of the MAC-hs PDU is set by the specific queue, wherein a Size Index Identifier (SID) field of the MAC-hs PDU is set to have a length of 4 bits or 5 bits in the specific queue, wherein a Number (N) field is not included in the header field of the MAC-hs PDU, and wherein a number of bits of a Transmission Sequence Number (TSN) of the MAC-hs PDU is set to have a length of 3 bits.
