Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for processing a transport block having a MAC-hs protocol data unit (PDU) and a corresponding checksum in an HSDPA-compatible (high-speed downlink packet access) receiver in a 3GPP wireless communication network, the method including: (a) recovering the transport block, (b) performing, substantially in parallel: (i) a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) on the transport block to determine whether the transport block passes or fails, and (ii) MAC (media access control) disassembly to generate a modified MAC-hs PDU, and (c) determining whether to perform reordering-queue distribution and reordering on the modified MAC-hs PDU based on whether the transport block passes or fails. By performing the CRC check and disassembly substantially in parallel, processing efficiencies may be gained.
