System and method of reducing encryption overhead by concatenating multiple connection packets associated with a security association
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting data in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- determining a plurality of payloads on multiple connections associated with a same security association;
concatenating the plurality of payloads associated with the same security association; and
encrypting the concatenated payload associated with the security association together in a Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Unit (PDU); and
transmitting a signal corresponding to the MAC PDU,wherein the MAC PDU includes an integrity check value (ICV), andwherein the plurality of payloads on multiple connections includes a first payload of a first connection and a second payload of a second connection.

Abstract
A method and system for encryption is provided. The method includes detecting one or more security associations corresponding to data payloads in response to receipt of the data payloads from multiple source connections. Each data payload includes one or more data packets from each source connection. The method also includes concatenating the data payloads corresponding to each security association. Further, the method includes encrypting the concatenated data payloads for each security association. The system includes a determination module that detects one or more security associations corresponding to data payloads in response to receipt of the data payloads from multiple source connections and concatenates the data payloads corresponding to each security association. The system also includes an encryption module that encrypts the concatenated data payloads for each security association.
