This tutorial describes about the MAC PDU structure when HS-DSCH and E-DCH transport channel are not used.
MAC PDUs are also called the MAC Transport Blocks (TB). MAC PDU is a bit string. The MAC PDU is consists of the MAC header and the MAC SDU (RLC PDU)
The Length Indicator is used to indicate, each time, the end of an SDU occurs in the PDU. The Length Indicator points out the number of octets between the end of the last Length Indicator field and up to and including the octet at the end of an SDU segment.
This tutorial gives detail description about RLC AM and UM data PDU encoding.
The security architecture in UMTS is divided into four main parts:
In this tutorial User identity confidentiality is covered.
MAC is a layer 2 protocol in the UMTS Access Stratum. MAC has the input as logical channels and at the output it has transport channels.
This tutorial covers only the MAC architecture.
