A method of generating protocol data units in a radio link control layer,
which is set to an unacknowledged mode or an acknowledged mode, is
disclosed. After producing a payload unit by segmenting and/or
concatenating one or more service data units received from a higher
layer, a protocol data unit including a sequence number corresponding to
the payload unit and a protocol data unit including the payload unit
itself are generated and transmitted separately to a media access control
layer through a pair of different channels. Therefore, the PDUs having
the sequence number can be transmitted in a low rate in order to reduce
the its error rate, and the other PDUs having data can be transmitted in
a higher rate to increase the data processing rate.
