METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENCODING AND DECODING MEDIUM ACCESS CONTROL LAYER PACKET

摘要

A method and system for encoding and decoding Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Units (PDUs) in a MAC layer packet is provided. The method includes receiving a request from a Physical (PHY) layer to transmit the MAC layer packet, wherein the MAC layer packet is transmitted in a predefined number of bytes that is determined in the PHY layer, and filling unfilled portion in the MAC layer packet with at least one fixed pattern in a predefined pattern set when a number of bytes that are unfilled is equal to or greater than 1. The unfilled portion includes total number of bytes that are unfilled in the MAC layer packet. Thereafter, the unfilled portion of the MAC layer packet is filled with a predefined pattern set when the number of predefined bytes is greater than the cumulative size of the available MAC PDUs arranged in the MAC layer packet.
