1. A method for data transmission, by a transmitting node, in a communication network, the method comprising:
generating a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU), comprising a MAC service data unit (SDU) and a subheader; and
transmitting the MAC PDU,
wherein the subheader corresponds to the MAC SDU,
wherein the subheader comprises a format indicator field and a length field comprising a plurality of bits,
wherein the plurality of bits indicate a length of the MAC SDU and are continuous in the MAC PDU,
wherein the subheader is placed in front of the MAC SDU in the MAC PDU,
wherein a value of the format indicator field indicates a size of the length field,
wherein when the value of the format indicator field is set to one, the value of the format indicator field indicates that the size of the length field is 16 bits, and
wherein when the value of the format indicator field is set to zero, the value of the format indicator field indicates that the size of the length field is 8 bits.
