Abstract

A base station device includes a transmitter configured to transmit for each logical channel first data of a first type and second data of a second type, and processor circuitry configured to, be able to omit information about a data length of the second data in a MAC protocol data unit (PDU), place a medium access control (MAC) header in front of a MAC service data unit (MSDU) of the second data, and multiplex the first data and the second data.

Claims (29)

1. A base station device comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit, for each logical channel, first data of a first type and second data of a second type; and

processor circuitry configured to:

omit information about a data length of the second data in a MAC protocol data unit (PDU),

place a medium access control (MAC) header in front of a MAC service data unit (MSDU) of the second data, and

multiplex the first data and the second data, wherein the data length of the second data is omitted from the MAC header and an R bit (reserved bit) is set in the second bit of the first octet in the MAC header.

2. The base station device of claim 1 , wherein when assigning a MAC header in which a logical channel identifier is omitted, the processor circuitry assigns, to the MAC header, mapping information having a plurality of bits corresponding respectively to a plurality of logical channels.

3. The base station device of claim 1 , wherein the processor circuitry sets a bit corresponding to a logical channel identifier for transmitting the second data, among a plurality of bits.

4. The base station device of claim 1 , wherein the data length of the second data is fixed.

5. The base station device of claim 1 , wherein the second type includes Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communication (URLLC).

6. The base station device of claim 1 , wherein the first type includes Enhanced Mobile BroadBand (eMBB).

7. The base station device of claim 1 , wherein the second data has a data size less than a data size of the first data.

8. A terminal device, comprising:

a receiver configured to receive, for each logical channel, first data of a first type and second data of a second type; and

processor circuitry configured to process a data according to a medium access control (MAC) header placed in front of the second data,

wherein a medium access control (MAC) header is placed in front of a MAC service data unit (MSDU) of the second data,

wherein the first data and the second data is multiplexed, and

wherein a data length of the second data is omitted from the MAC header and an R bit (reserved bit) is set in the second bit of the first octet in the MAC header.

9. A wireless communication method comprising:

transmitting, for each logical channel, first data of a first type and second data of a second type,

omitting information about a data length of the second data in a MAC protocol data unit (PDU)

placing a medium access control (MAC) header in front of a MAC service data unit (MSDU) of the second data,

multiplexing the first data and the second data, wherein the data length of the second data is omitted from the MAC header and an R bit (reserved bit) is set in the second bit of the first octet in the MAC header.

10. A wireless communication method comprising:

receiving, for each logical channel, first data of a first type and second data of a second type,

processing a data according to a medium access control (MAC) header placed in front of the second data,

wherein a medium access control (MAC) header is placed in front of a MAC service data unit (MSDU) of the second data,

wherein the first data and the second data is multiplexed, and

wherein a data length of the second data is omitted from the MAC header and an R bit (reserved bit) is set in the second bit of the first octet in the MAC header.
