Claims
- 1. A data transmission method between a network part of a General Packet Radio Service and a subscriber terminal comprisingan RLC/MAC (Radio Link Control/Medium Access Control) protocol layer and an LLC (Logical Link Control) protocol layer employing the services of the RLC/MAC protocol layer as data link layers; in data transmission an LLC frame of the LLC layer is placed in an RLC data block of the RLC/MAC layer, characterized by placing more than two LLC frames in one RLC data block.
- 2. A method as claimed in claim 1, characterized byan RLC data block comprising an RLC header field and an RLC data field, and the RLC data block including a mechanism accurately indicating the length of the LLC frame included in each RLC data block and information on whether another LLC frame will follow said LLC frame or not.
- 3. A cellular network using a general packet radio service comprising:a network part and at least one subscriber terminal; data transmission between the network part and the subscriber terminal; the network part and the subscriber terminal being arranged to perform data transmission using a protocol stack where an RLC/MAC (Radio Link Control/Medium Access Control) protocol layer and an LLC (Logical Link Control) protocol layer employing the services of the RLC/MAC protocol layer act as data link layers; the network part and the subscriber terminal being arranged to use transmission units for data transmission in such a manner that an LLC frame of the LLC layer is placed in an RLC data block of the RLC/MAC layer, characterized by the network part and the subscriber terminal being arranged to locate more than two LLC frames in one RLC data block.
- 4. A cellular network as claimed in claim 3, characterized bythe RLC data block comprising an RLC header field and an RLC data field, and the network part and the subscriber terminal being arranged to locate a mechanism in the RLC data block accurately indicating the length of the LLC frame included in the RLC data block and information about whether another LLC frame will follow said LLC frame or not.
