A flexible segmentation scheme for communication systems

摘要

A method comprising: determining a size of a transport block based on criteria comprising a size of at least one block of data to be transmitted, wherein the size of the transport block is determined so that the transport block will include at least one segment of a data block of at least one data block (101); segmenting the data block of the at least one data block into a plurality of segments comprising the at least one segment, wherein each segment of the plurality of segments comprises an identifier of the data block, a length value field and a offset value field, wherein the identifier of the data block comprises an identification of the segmented data block, wherein a length value of the length value field indicates a segment length, characterized in that a field offset value Offset value indicates a segment start position relative to the segmented data block (102); and fill the transport block with at least the at least one segment (103).
