Method, apparatus, and system for medium access control

摘要

Embodiments addressing MAC processing for efficient use of high throughput systems are disclosed. In one aspect, an apparatus comprises a first layer for receiving one or more packets from one or more data flows and for generating one or more first layer Protocol Data Units (PDUs) from the one or more packets. In another aspect, a second layer is deployed for generating one or more MAC frames based on the one or more MAC layer PDUs. In another aspect, a MAC frame is deployed for transmitting one or more MAC layer PDUs. The MAC frame may comprise a control channel for transmitting one or more allocations. The MAC frame may comprise one or more traffic segments in accordance with allocations.

主权项

1. A method for wireless communication by a user terminal (UT), comprising:
placing a protocol data unit (PDU) in a queue; transmitting an access burst on a random access channel; receiving, from an access point, an acknowledgement of the access burst; transmitting a link and buffer status message to the access point; receiving an allocation of at least one physical layer burst for transmitting on a reverse traffic channel; and transmitting the queued PDU on the reverse traffic channel in a media access control (MAC) PDU in the allocated physical layer burst.
