APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATING AND PARSING MAC PDU IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

An apparatus and method for generating and parsing a MAC PDU in a mobile communication system are provided in which LCIDs of MAC SDUs to be multiplexed are checked, the length of an LF is determined for each of the MAC SDUs, referring to LF lengths predetermined for the LCIDs, a MAC header including the LCIDs and LFs of the determined lengths for the MAC SDUs is generated, and a MAC PDU is generated by attaching the MAC header to payload including the MAC SDUs. During the MAC header generation, if a padding size required for the MAC PDU generation calculated assuming the absence of a last LF in the MAC header is equal to or less than the length of the last LF, including the last LF in the MAC header.
