Abstract
A communication device for aggregating a long term evolution (LTE) system and a wireless local area network (WLAN) comprises a storage unit for storing instructions and a processing means coupled to the storage unit. The processing means is configured to execute the instructions stored in the storage unit. The instructions comprise generating a LTE protocol data unit (PDU); generating a WLAN PDU comprising the LTE PDU; and transmitting the WLAN PDU to an access point via a WLAN physical layer.
Claims10
A communication device for aggregating a long term evolution (LTE) system and a wireless local area network (WLAN), the communication device comprising:
- a storage device;
- and
- a processing circuit, coupled to the storage device, wherein the storage device stores, and the processing circuit is configured to execute instructions of:
- generating a LTE protocol data unit (PDU), wherein a size of the LTE PDU is not larger than a maximum size of a WLAN media access control (MAC) service data unit (SDU);
- generating a WLAN PDU comprising the LTE PDU;
- and
- transmitting the WLAN PDU to an access point via a WLAN physical layer.
