  • Scheduling data transmission by medium access control (MAC) layer in a mobile network
    Patent number: 9867208
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing medium access control (MAC) protocol data units (PDUs) are disclosed. A controller may, on a Transmission Time Interval (TTI) basis, select a size of a MAC service data unit (SDU) for each of a plurality of logical channels based on information provided by a MAC layer. The controller may then provide a respective first value for each logical channel. Further, the controller may select logical channels for a MAC PDU based on a respective priority of each of the logical channels and on the respective first value of each of the logical channels being greater than zero. Also, the controller may multiplex the MAC SDUs of the selected logical channels to produce the MAC PDU. In addition, the controller may provide a transport block for transmission based on the MAC PDU. The controller and a transmitter may then transmit the provided transport block.

  • Scheduling data transmission by medium access control (MAC) layer in a mobile network
    Patent number: 9392490
    Abstract: A method for determining padding compatibility is disclosed. A determination is made of a number of protocol data units (PDUs) for a logical channel mapped to a transport channel such that, for a logical channel allowing segmentation, calculate n wherein n=service data unit size/transport block size (SDU size/TB size), and on a condition that n is an integer, setting the number of PDUs=n.
