First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for indicating padding in a digital mobile radio system, wherein the method comprises:
- creating a packet comprising a header and a defined length blocks portion, wherein the defined length blocks portion comprises payload and a padding portion, and wherein the padding portion comprises padding and a payload pad count field;
comparing an amount of padding for the padding portion to a threshold that is determined based on a format of the payload;
when the amount of padding exceeds the threshold, indicating by a pad field in the header to examine the payload pad count field to determine the amount of padding for the padding portion;
indicating an amount of padding for the padding portion in the payload pad count field; and
transmitting the packet.

Abstract
A method for indicating padding in a digital mobile radio is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a packet comprising a header and a defined length blocks portion. The defined length blocks portion comprises payload and a padding portion. The padding portion comprises padding and a payload pad count field. The method further indicates by a pad field in the header to examine the payload pad count field to determine an amount of padding for the padding portion of the defined length blocks portion. The method further indicates an amount of padding for the padding portion in the payload pad count field.

9. A method for indicating padding in a digital mobile radio system, wherein the method comprises:
-
receiving a defined length data message comprising at least a short data header and a defined length blocks portion, wherein the short data header has at least a format field and a pad field, wherein the format field indicates a type of service, and wherein the pad field has a data format field and a minimum padding field for the padding of the defined length blocks portion, wherein the minimum padding field provides an indication to examine a payload pad count field of the defined length block portion when an amount of padding in the defined length blocks portion exceeds a threshold, wherein the threshold is based on a data format indicated in the data format field of the pad field; examining the payload pad count field of the defined length blocks portion for the amount of padding in the defined length blocks portion, if the minimum padding field indicates that the defined length blocks portion comprises the payload pad count field. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method for indicating padding in a defined length blocks portion of a packet in a digital mobile radio system, wherein the method comprises:
-
computing a number of blocks of payload for a packet, wherein the packet is to be sent to a receiver in the digital mobile radio system; computing an amount of padding for the number of blocks of payload so that the packet is of a defined length to create a packet of the defined length by adding the amount of padding to a padding portion of the packet; comparing the amount of padding to a threshold that is based on a format for the payload; when the amount of padding exceeds the threshold indicating the amount of padding by a payload pad count field in the padding portion of the packet; and indicating by a pad field in a header of the packet to examine the payload pad count field of the padding portion to determine the amount of padding in the padding portion of the packet. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
