1. A method of transmitting data by a transmitting entity in a wireless communications network to a receiving entity, the method comprising:
receiving, at the transmitting entity, data for transmission via a wireless access interface of the wireless communications network,
dividing the data into portions for transmission,
forming from each portion of data for each of one or more protocol layers one or more protocol data units, the one or more protocol data units being formed for each layer according to a protocol applied by the layer for transmitting the protocol data unit and each of the protocol data units for each layer including a header,
transmitting the data via the wireless access interface by processing each of the one or more protocol data units via each of the one or more protocol layers, wherein the forming from each portion of the data for each of the one or more protocol layers the one or more protocol data units comprises:
determining a value of one or more input parameters,
determining using a model trained using machine learning for selecting header formats, a header format for each of the one or more protocol layers based on the value of each of the one or more input parameters, and
forming the one or more protocol data units for each of the one or more protocol layers in accordance with each of the determined header formats, and
transmitting the one or more protocol data units for each of the one or more protocols to the receiving entity,
wherein the determining the value of the one or more input parameters and the determining the header format for the one or more protocol data units of each of the one or more protocol layers being performed dynamically for each of the portions of data to be transmitted.
