Higher layer packet (HLP) framing information is transmitted across the air interface only as necessary, utilizing the Radio Link Protocol (RLP). In one embodiment, a new RLP control frame is transmitted between RLP data frames containing data from different HLP, demarking the boundary between the HLP. In another embodiment, a new RLP data frame contains framing information, and an indicator of that framing information. The new RLP data frame is transmitted only when necessary, e.g., when the RLP data frame includes a HLP boundary. When transmitting intermediate HLP fragments, conventional RLP data frames are used, wherein the entire payload is dedicated to user data, and the framing information is transmitted implicitly.
