PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transmission entity (e.g., user equipment (UE)) which reduces segmentation of Radio Link Control (RLC) Service Data Units (SDUs) while minimizing padding.SOLUTION: Signaling or provisioning of a constraint value such as a maximum padding amount or minimum segmentation size is employed in a determinative way in the UE. A receiving entity (e.g., evolved base node (eNB)) benefits from being able to signal these parameters, whose application to RLC instances can discriminate between a data radio bearer and a signaling radio bearer. Compliance can also be voluntary, such as a network entity employing at least a portion of the same approach on a downlink. |
