Estimating the term…
An object of the present invention is to provide a mechanism for improving the performance of a radio access network. The object is achieved by a data packet (200) in a first network node (110). The first network node (110) is adapted to transmit the data packet (200) to a second network node (120), over a radio link (130). The first network node (110) and second network node (120) are comprised in a wireless communications network (100). The data packet (200) comprising a data packet header (210) and a data packet payload (220). The data packet header (210) comprising at least one length indicator (211, 212, 213, 214, 215). The data packet payload (220) comprising a number of consecutive packet data units (221, 222, 223), of the same specific size. The number of consecutive data units (221, 222, 223), of the same size is indicated in the data packet header (210) using a first length indicator of the at least one length indicators (211, 212, 213, 214, 215).

A data packet in a first network node, which first network node is adapted to transmit the data packet to a second network node, over a radio link, which first network node and second network node are included in a wireless communications network, the data packet comprising a data packet header and a data packet payload, the data packet header comprising at least one length indicator, the data packet payload comprising a number of consecutive packet data units, being of the same specific size, and wherein the number of consecutive data units, of the same size is indicated, using a first length indicator of the at least one length indicators in the data packet header.
A method in a first network node, for transmission of a data packet to a second network node, over a radio link, wherein the first and second network nodes are included in a wireless communications network and the data packet comprises a data packet header and a data packet payload, the data packet header comprising at least one length indicator, the data packet payload comprising a number of consecutive packet data units, being of the same specific size, the method comprising:
The method according to claim 38, wherein indicating the number of consecutive data units, of the same size in the data packet payload, which specific size of the data units equals an upper size limit (N) is performed by using a second set of specific reserved values (RVm) of the length indicator.
A method in a second network node, for reception of a data packet from a first network node, over a radio link, wherein the first and second network nodes are included in a wireless communications network and the data packet comprises a data packet header and a data packet payload, the data packet header comprising at least one length indicator, the data packet payload comprising a number of consecutive packet data units, being of the same specific size, the method comprising:
An arrangement in a first network node, which first network node is adapted to transmit a data packet to a second network node over a radio link, wherein the first and second network nodes are included in a wireless communications network and the data packet comprises a data packet header and a data packet payload, the data packet header comprising at least one length indicator, the data packet payload comprising a number of consecutive packet data units being of the same specific size, said arrangement in the first network node comprising:
An arrangement in a second network node, which second network node is adapted to receive a data packet from a first network node over a radio link, wherein the first and second network nodes are included in a wireless communications network and the data packet comprises a data packet header and a data packet payload, the data packet header comprising at least one length indicator, the data packet payload comprising a number of consecutive packet data units, being of the same specific size, said arrangement in the second network node comprising:
