METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FAST OR NEGATIVE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method and apparatus are provided to determine whether to include acknowledgement information within radio link control/medium access control (RLC/MAC) data transfer blocks. If the acknowledgement information is to be included in the data transfer blocks it may have a variable length. The acknowledgement information may also be encoded independently of all other parts of the RLC/MAC data transfer block.
