Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus and method for generating a Media Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Unit (MPDU) in a wireless communication system are provided. The method includes reconstructing at least one MAC Service Data Unit (MSDU) according to scheduling information of the MAC layer and generating at least one MAC Protocol Data Unit (MPDU) data portion, adding control information to each MPDU data portion and generating at least one MPDU payload, the control information comprising MSDU information constituting each MPDU data portion, adding a General MAC Header (GMH) to each MPDU payload and generating at least one MPDU, the GMH including length information on the MPDU and Connection IDentifier (CID) information, and transmitting the MPDU to a receive end.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for transmitting data of a Media Access Control (MAC) layer in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: generating a MAC Protocol Data Unit (MPDU) data portion by reconstructing a MAC Service Data Unit (MSDU) for a connection; generating a MPDU by adding a first header and a second header to the MPDU data portion; and transmitting the MPDU to a receive end, wherein the first header comprises a length of the MPDU and a connection…
