Abstract

A wireless communication method and device are provided. The wireless communication method includes the steps of determining whether the length of an RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment is greater than a threshold; determining the type of length indicator which is allocated by a network when the length of the RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment is greater than the threshold; and determining whether to force to map the RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment to the end of an RLC PDU according to the type of the length indicator.

Claims (26)

1. A wireless communication method, comprising: determining, by a user equipment (UE), whether a length of an radio link control (RLC) service data unit (SDU) or RLC SDU segment is greater than a threshold;

determining, by the UE, a type of length indicator which is allocated by a network when the length of the RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment is greater than the threshold;

determining, by the UE, whether to force to map the RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment to the end of an RLC protocol data unit (PDU) according to the type of the length indicator;

forcing to map the RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment to the end of the RLC PDU if the type of the length indicator is a first type; and

not forcing to map the RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment to the end of the RLC PDU if the type of the length indicator is a second type, wherein a first length of the first type of the length indicator is shorter than a second length of the first type of the length indicator.

2. The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the first type is 11-bit length indicator.

3. The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the second type is 15-bit length indicator.

4. The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the threshold is 2047 bytes.

5. A wireless communication method, comprising:

determining, by a user equipment (UE), a type of length indicator which is allocated by a network;

determining, by the UE, whether a length of an radio link control (RLC) service data unit (SDU) or RLC SDU segment is greater than a threshold if the type of the length indicator is a first type;

not forcing to map the RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment to the end of an RLC protocol data unit (PDU) if the type of the length indicator is a second type, wherein a first length of the first type of the length indicator is shorter than a second length of the first type of the length indicator;

forcing to map the RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment to the end of the RLC PDU when the length of the RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment is greater than the threshold; and

not forcing to map the RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment to the end of the RLC PDU when the length of the RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment is not greater than the threshold.

6. The wireless communication method of claim 5 , wherein the first type is 11-bit length indicator and the second type is 15-bit length indicator.

7. A wireless communication device, comprising:

a processor, configured to determine whether a length of an radio link control (RLC) service data unit (SDU) or RLC SDU segment is greater than a threshold, determine a type of the length indicator which is allocated by a network when the length of the RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment is greater than the threshold and determine whether to force to map the RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment to the end of an RLC protocol data unit (PDU) according to the type of the length indicator,

wherein the processor forces to map the RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment to the end of the RLC PDU if the type of the length indicator is a first type,

wherein the processor does not force to map the RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment to the end of the RLC PDU if the type of the length indicator is a second type, and

wherein a first length of the first type of the length indicator is shorter than a second length of the first type of the length indicator.

8. The wireless communication device of claim 7 , wherein the first type is 11-bit length indicator.

9. The wireless communication device of claim 7 , wherein the second type is 15-bit length indicator.

10. The wireless communication device of claim 7 , wherein the threshold is 2047 bytes.

11. A wireless communication device, comprising:

a processor, configured to determine a type of length indicator which is allocated by a network, determine whether a length of an radio link control (RLC) service data unit (SDU) or RLC SDU segment is greater than a threshold if the type of the length indicator is a first type, and does not force to map the RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment to the end of an RLC protocol data unit (PDU) if the type of the length indicator is a second type, wherein a first length of the first type of the length indicator is shorter than a second length of the first type of the length indicator, wherein the processor forces to map the RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment to the end of the RLC PDU when the length of the RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment is greater than the threshold, and does not force to map the RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment to the end of the RLC PDU when the length of the RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment is not greater than the threshold.

12. The wireless communication device of claim 11 , wherein the first type is 11-bit length indicator and the second type is 15-bit length indicator.
