Patent ID: 7961657

Claim:
A method for transmitting a packet via high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA), the method comprising: generating at least one HSDPA medium access control (MAC-hs) service data unit (SDU); segmenting the MAC-hs SDU into a plurality of segments, wherein the sizes of the segments are determined based on the number of segments to which the MAC-hs SDU is segmented, and the sizes for the first S-1 segments of the MAC-hs SDU is the size of the MAC-hs SDU rounded up to the nearest multiple of S then divided by S, and the size of the last segment of the MAC-hs SDU is the size of the MAC-hs SDU minus the sum of the sizes of previous S-1 segments; generating a plurality of MAC-hs protocol data units (PDUs), each MAC-hs PDU including at least one segment; and transmitting the MAC-hs PDUs.
