Abstract
The disclosed method and processor include data-flow multiplexing, segmentation and concatenation at the Node B MAC Layer. Such a method and apparatus support higher throughput due to the reduction in latency.
Claims31
A method for communicating comprising:
- segmenting data packets of a plurality of data packets when said data packets are greater than a selected transport block size;
- concatenating data packets of said plurality of data packets when said data packets are less than said selected transport block size;
- and
- multiplexing said segmented or concatenated data packets into one or more transport blocks.
1 more element
A Node B comprising:
- one or more segmentation/concatenation processors for segmenting data packets of a plurality of data packets when said data packets are greater than a selected transport block size, and concatenating data packets of a plurality of data packets when said data packets are less than said selected transport block size;
- and
- a multiplexor for multiplexing said segmented or concatenated data packets into one or more transport blocks.
A method of communicating comprising:
- disassembling a received multiplexed data packet into a plurality of segmented and concatenated data packets;
- reordering said segmented and concatenated data packets;
- and
- reassembling said segmented data packets and disassembling said concatenated data packets.
