Abstract

A method for using a flexible size radio link control (RLC) protocol data unit (PDU) on an uplink is described. A request for an RLC PDU is received from a medium access control (MAC) layer. Radio conditions for a first uplink carrier and a second uplink carrier are determined. A size of the RLC PDU is selected based on the radio conditions. The RLC PDU is generated. The RLC PDU is sent to the MAC layer.
