Abstract
A technique for determining segmentation parameters for use in segmenting Radio Link Control, RLC, Protocol Data Units, PDUs, in an RLC preprocessing procedure performed by a User Equipment, UE, prior to receiving an Uplink, UL, grant for transmission of the RLC PDUs is disclosed, wherein the segmentation parameters comprise a size of RLC PDU segments and a number of RLC PDU segments to be included into a physical layer Transport Block, TB. A method implementation of the technique comprises determining (S) a TBS prediction of an expected physical layer Transport Block Size, TBS, determining (S) an observation prediction of at least one of an expected channel quality, an expected traffic volume and an expected available bandwidth observable during transmission of the RLC PDUs, and determining (S) the size of RLC PDU segments and the number of RLC PDU segments based on the TBS prediction and the observation prediction, wherein the size of RLC PDU segments and the number of RLC PDU segments are determined to maximize the size of RLC PDU segments while keeping a total size of the number of RLC PDU segments within the expected TBS.
