Abstract
An IEEE 802.11 media access control (MAC) frame (or contents thereof) at a transmitter apparatus includes information from which a logical channel carrying traffic can be identified, so that a receiver apparatus, when unpacking the IEEE 802.11 MAC frame (or contents thereof), is able to route the traffic to the appropriate radio link control (RLC) entity associated with the logical channel. An evolved Node B (eNB) that is also an access point (AP) distinguishes conventional uplink wireless local area network (WLAN) traffic from traffic that is to be routed to an RLC layer.
