FIELD: physics, computer engineering.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to means of transmitting data packets. The method comprises encapsulating a data segment for a higher layer data packet in a lower layer data packet, wherein the higher layer data packet includes logical link control (LLC) protocol data units (PDU) and the lower layer data packet includes radio link control (RLC) data blocks for transmission over an enhanced general packet radio service (EGPRS) network; adding a new packet indicator set to a predetermined value to the lower layer data packet header if the data segment comprises the beginning of a new higher layer data packet to indicate the start of a new higher layer data packet; adding a length indicator to the lower layer data packet header if the data segment comprises the end of a higher layer data packet, wherein adding a new packet indicator includes adding a new packet indicator to a lower layer data packet only when the lower layer data packet begins from the new higher layer data packet segment.
EFFECT: reduced errors when segmenting and merging data packets.
