    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a 5G communication system or a 6G communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4G communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). A method for handling segmentation in a converged layer 2 (L2) communication network is provided. The method includes assigning, by a converged L2 of a transmitter, a L2 sequence number (SN) to a protocol data unit (PDU). The L2 SN includes at least one of a last segment indication (LSI) indicating a presence of a last service data units (SDU) of the complete PDU, a length indicator exist (LIE) indicating a presence of a length indicator (LI) after a L2 header, or a SI indicating a segmentation status or stage of the complete PDU, receiving, by a medium access control (MAC) layer of the transmitter, a grant opportunity or a transmission opportunity for transferring the PDU available at the converged L2, and sending the PDU to a lower layer of the transmitter for transmission to a receiver with or without segmentation based on the grant or a transmission opportunity.
