Abstract

An apparatus and method for downlink data transmission and decoding are disclosed. In the method, a physical layer code block or a physical layer code block group is decoded. A medium access control (MAC) sub-packet corresponding to the decoded physical layer code block or the physical code block group is decoded without waiting for any subsequent physical layer code blocks to be decoded. The decoded MAC sub-packet is passed up a protocol stack.
