A user equipment (UE) and a flexible protocol data unit (PDU) packaging method thereof are provided. The user equipment performs a flexible PDU packaging procedure in a radio link control (RLC) layer when receiving configuration information that configures a 7-bit length indicator (LI) size and a flexible PDU size from a base station. The user equipment uses an exactly-filled LI to indicate the end of a service data unit (SDU) occurring at the end of the previous one PDU and an accumulated SDU size of the previous one PDU exceeds 123 octets. In addition, the user equipment utilizes a special value of a header extension (HE) field or an alternative E-bit of the header to indicate that the PDU includes only one SDU and the SDU is a complete SDU.

User equipment and flexible protocol data unit packaging method thereof

A mobile communication device including a Baseband processor is provided. The Baseband processor determines an ending period of time of a Transmission Time Interval (TTI) for processing one or more first Service Data Units (SDUs) in a first protocol layer, and prior to the ending period of time, pre-processes one or more second SDUs, which are received during the remaining period of time of the TTI, and re-processes the pre-processed second SDUs in a second protocol layer to generate the first SDUs. Particularly, the second protocol layer is hierarchically higher than the first protocol layer in a communication protocol stack.

Apparatuses and methods for processing data communicated between different protocol layers

A mobile communication device is provided with a processor. The processor is configured to receive a request for starting a Mobile Originated (MO) service, determine a plurality of remaining usage quotas for the MO service, which correspond to a plurality of subscriber numbers, and select one of the subscriber numbers for starting the MO service according to the remaining usage quotas.

Apparatuses and methods for selection among multiple subscriber numbers

A method for displaying SIM card slot information for use in a device including M SIM card slots, each of which may have a SIM card inserted therein or no SIM card inserted therein. The method includes the following steps. A set of predetermined rules are first determined by the device. Statuses of the M SIM card slots corresponding to the set of predetermined rules are then acquired. Information regarding N of the M SIM card slots are displayed on a display unit of the device according to the set of predetermined rules determined by the current associated network and the acquired statuses of the M SIM card slots, where N&#x3c;M and N&#x3e;=1.
