Abstract
A method and apparatus for segmentation and assembly of data frames for retransmission in a telecommunications system. Zero padding of radio link protocol (RLP) data frames carrying retransmissions is minimized. RLP data frames carrying retransmitted data of an RLP data frame may also carry at least one newly transmitted RLP data frame or at least one other complete or partial retransmitted RLP data frame. The RLP data frames are passed to a lower level protocol and transmitted in at least one transmission frame.
