APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR EXCHANGING VARIABLE-LENGTH DATA ACCORDING TO A RADIO LINK PROTOCOL IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method for transmitting a plurality of data frames in a mobile telecommunications system is disclosed. Each data frame has a frame sequence number and a data block. The method comprises the steps of segmenting a data frame into a plurality of data segments for retransmission, assigning the frame sequence number to each of said data segment, and assigning respective sequence numbers to the data bytes of each data segment to distinguish the first and last bytes of said data segment.
