A method and apparatus for concatenating (200) and piggybacking (300) data packets in a bi-directional communication device (120) include, in response to a first transmission queue (455) of the bi-directional communication device (120) containing less than a threshold number of data packets, transferring (120) a data packet from a second transmission queue (425) in the bi-directional communication device (120) to the first transmission queue (455), the transferred data packet comprising at least two concatenated data packets. The method and apparatus further include identifying (120) the transferred data packet as a ready-to-send data packet in the first transmission queue (455) after the transfer, and indicating the presence of a subsequent ready-to-send data packet in a primary ready-to-send data packet, the primary ready-to-send data packet and the subsequent ready-to-send data packet existing in a sequence of ready-to-send data packets in the first transmission queue (455). |
