First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for processing packet data in a communications system, the method comprising:
- receiving a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU), wherein the MAC PDU comprises a header portion and a payload portion, wherein the payload portion comprises at least two MAC service data units (SDUs) and the header portion comprises an identifier used to map the received at least two MAC SDUs to one reordering buffer,wherein the identifier is common to the at least two MAC SDUs and reordering buffers are configured per a respective identifier;
buffering the received at least two MAC SDUs in the mapped one reordering buffer based on the identifier; and
processing the buffered at least two MAC SDUs for delivering to an upper layer.

Abstract
In the data transmission method of an HSDPA system according to the present invention, a transmitter transmits Data Blocks each composed of one or more data units originated from a same logical channel, and a receiver receives the Data Block through a HS-DSCH and distributes the Data Block to a predetermined reordering buffer. Since each Data Block is composed of the MAC-d PDUs originated from the same logical channel, it is possible to monitor the in-sequence delivery of the data units, resulting in reduction of undesirable queuing delay caused by logical channel multiplexing.
