Abstract
A method and apparatus for segmenting medium access control (MAC) service data units (SDUs) creates enhanced MAC-es PDUs in the enhanced MAC-e/es sub-layer by concatenating MAC SDUs received from the logical channels. An enhanced transport format combination (E-TFC) selection entity controls the concatenation of MAC SDUs into enhanced MAC-es PDUs. When a MAC SDU is received that is too large to fit into a selected enhanced MAC-es PDU payload a segmentation entity segments the MAC SDU such that the MAC SDU segment fills the remaining payload available in the selected enhanced MAC-es PDU. The enhanced MAC-es PDU is then assigned a transmission sequence number (TSN) and multiplexed with other enhanced MAC-es PDUs to create a single enhanced MAC-e PDU that is transmitted on the E-DCH in the next transmission time interval (TTI). A HARQ entity stores and if necessary retransmits the enhanced MAC-e PDU when a transmission error occurs.

Claim
1. A radio network controller (RNC) comprising:
a medium access control (MAC) entity for an enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) configured to receive one or more MAC protocol data units (PDUs), wherein each MAC PDU includes a transmission sequence number (TSN) and a segmentation description field included in a header of a MAC PDU indicating whether the MAC PDU ends in a segment of a MAC service data unit (SDU) and a remaining segment of the MAC SDU is to be concatenated in another MAC PDU, and deliver one or more reassembled MAC PDUs to higher layers, the MAC entity comprising:
a disassembly entity configured to disassemble the received MAC PDUs, wherein the disassembly entity removes the header of the MAC PDUs;
a reordering entity configured to reorder the received MAC PDUs, wherein the MAC PDUs are reordered using the TSN;
a reassembly entity configured to reassemble the segmented MAC SDUs using the segmentation description field.
2. The RNC of claim 1 wherein the MAC entity for E-DCH further comprises a reordering queue distribution entity configured to route the received MAC PDUs to a reordering buffer.
3. The RNC of claim 1 wherein the one or more MAC PDUs are radio link control (RLC) PDUs.
4. The RNC of claim 1 wherein the MAC PDU is segmented on a condition that a resulting segment is larger than a minimum segment size.
5. The RNC of claim 1 wherein a potential value of the segmentation description field indicates whether a segment is included in the MAC PDU.
6. A method for use in a radio network controller (RNC) comprising:
receiving one or more medium access control (MAC) protocol data units (PDUs), wherein each MAC PDU includes a transmission sequence number (TSN) and a segmentation description field included in a header of a MAC PDU indicating whether the MAC PDU ends in a segment of a MAC service data unit (SDU) and a remaining segment of the MAC SDU is to be concatenated in another MAC PDU;
disassembling the received MAC PDUs, wherein the disassembling removes the header of the MAC PDUs;
reordering the received MAC PDUs, wherein the MAC PDUs are reordered using the TSN;
reassembling the segmented MAC SDUs using the segmentation description field; and
delivering the one or more reassembled MAC PDUs to higher layers.
7. The method of claim 6, further comprising routing the received MAC PDUs to a reordering buffer.
8. The method of claim 6 wherein the one or more MAC PDUs are radio link control (RLC) PDUs.
9. The method of claim 6 wherein the MAC PDU is segmented on a condition that a resulting segment is larger than a minimum segment size.
10. The method of claim 6 wherein a potential value of the segmentation description field indicates whether a segment is included in the MAC PDU.
