APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING/RECEIVING MAC HEADER IN MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method and an apparatus for transmitting/receiving a MAC header in a mobile communication system supporting high-speed data communication are provided, which can reduce signaling overhead and increase system throughput by decreasing the size of the MAC header. A LEN unit of the MAC packet header is set to 1 byte when a TB size is less than or equal to a first predetermined threshold value. The LEN unit is set to 2 bytes when the TB size is greater than the first predetermined threshold value and is less than or equal to a second predetermined threshold value.
