Patent ID: 8401037

Claim:
A method of processing data at a specific protocol layer in a wireless communication system using a circuit switched voice data process, the method comprising: receiving a radio link control (RLC) protocol data unit (PDU) including a header from a lower layer, the header including sequence information and an extension bit (E-bit), wherein the E-bit identifies whether the RLC PDU includes a plurality of RLC service data units (SDUs); extracting the E-bit from the header of the RLC PDU; if the E-bit identifies that the RLC PDU includes only one RLC SDU, extracting the RLC SDU from the RLC PDU and delivering the extracted RLC SDU to an upper layer; if the E-bit identifies that the RLC PDU includes a plurality of RLC SDUs, extracting one RLC SDU among the plurality of RLC SDUs from the RLC PDU, delivering the extracted one RLC SDU to an upper layer and discarding, at an RLC layer, the rest of RLC SDUs in the RLC PDU, wherein the extracted one RLC SDU is a first RLC SDU having timing information in the RLC PDU and wherein the specific protocol layer is the RLC layer.
