METHOD FOR REASSEMBLING MEDIUM ACCESS CONTROL PROTOCOL DATA UNIT AND RECEIVER PERFORMING THE SAME
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for reassembling a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) of a receiver, comprising:
- receiving at least one hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) burst in an ARQ disabled connection that does not support an automatic repeat request (ARQ) function;
extracting at least one fragment from at least one MAC PDU included in at least one HARQ burst;
setting a new start point by comparing a predetermined start point with a sequence number of the fragment; and
reassembling fragments having sequence numbers before the new start point.

Abstract
A method for reassembling a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) of a receiver includes: receiving at least one hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) burst in an automatic repeat request (ARQ) disabled connection that does not support an ARQ function; extracting at least one fragment from at least one MAC PDU included in at least one HARQ burst; setting a new start point by comparing a predetermined start point with the sequence number of the fragment; and reassembling fragments having sequence numbers before the new start point.

10. A receiver that is connected to a transmitter via multiple carriers, comprising:
-
a fragment extractor extracting at least one fragment from at least one medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) included in at least one hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) burst in an automatic repeat request (ARQ) disabled connection that does not support an ARQ function; a controller setting a new start point by comparing a predetermined start point with the sequence number of the fragment; and a reassembler reassembling fragments having sequence numbers before the new start point. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for processing data in a receiver including multiple physical layers and a medium access control (MAC) layer, comprising:
-
receiving a HARQ burst from a transmitter; transmitting at least one data unit included in the HARQ burst in the multiple physical layers to the MAC layer; extracting at least one fragment from the data unit in the MAC layer; comparing a predetermined start point with the sequence number of the fragment; and setting a new start point when the sequence number and the predetermined start point are the same as each other and setting a delay time for the fragment when the sequence number and the predetermined start point are not the same as each other. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
