APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING MAC PDU USING MAC HEADERS
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting a media access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU) in a wireless access system, the method comprising:
- establishing, by a transmitting end with a receiving end, a connection associated with a service flow;
constructing, by the transmitting end, the MAC PDU comprising a MAC header which is configured according to the connection; and
transmitting the MAC PDU to the receiving end,wherein the MAC header is general MAC header (GMH) if the connection is associated with a general data packet transmission, andwherein the MAC header is short-packet MAC header (SPMH) if the connection is associated with a small data packet transmission and non-ARQ transmission.

Abstract
An apparatus and methods for transmitting and receiving MAC PDU (medium access control protocol data unit) using a MAC Header are disclosed. The method includes steps of establishing, by a transmitting end with a receiving end, a connection associated with a service flow, constructing, by the transmitting end, the MAC PDU comprising a MAC header which is configured according to the connection, and transmitting the MAC PDU to the receiving end, wherein the MAC header is general MAC header (GMH) if the connection is associated with a general data packet transmission, and wherein the MAC header is short-packet MAC header (SPMH) if the connection is associated with a small data packet transmission and non-ARQ transmission.

20. A transmitting end for transmitting a media access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU) in a wireless access system, the transmitting end comprising:
-
a transmission module; a reception module; and a processor comprising a MAC PDU generating module for constructing the MAC PDU, wherein the transmitting end establishes a connection associated with a service flow with a receiving end; constructs the MAC PDU comprising a MAC header which is configured according to the connection by using the MAC PDU generating module; and transmits the MAC PDU to the receiving end, wherein the MAC header is general MAC header (GMH) if the connection is associated with a general data packet transmission, and wherein the MAC header is short-packet MAC header (SPMH) if the connection is associated with a small data packet transmission and non-ARQ transmission. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
