Wireless communication system with selectively sized data transport blocks

摘要

A wireless transmit receive unit and methods for code division multiple access telecommunications are disclosed that process data in a physical layer and a medium access control (MAC) layer. The physical and MAC layers communicate data between each other via transport channels. The transport channels are associated with logical channels. Logical-channel data for the transport channels is provided in data units having a bit size evenly divisible by an integer N. The respective logical channels associated with a transport channel utilize MAC headers that have a selected modulo N bit size such that there is bit alignment of the MAC headers of all the logical channels associated with a particular transport channel. Preferably, the MAC headers and data units are combined into transport blocks (TBs) to transport data over the transport channels with bit padding such that the TBs have a bit size evenly divisible by N.
