1. A method of wireless communication, the method comprising:
transmitting a configuration message comprising a segmentation indicator and an autonomous-truncation-handling indicator, wherein the segmentation indicator is configurable to indicate one of:
a segmentation-free mode of operation during which segmentation is not allowed for the wireless communication over at least one radio bearer, and
a segmentation-allowed mode of operation during which selective segmentation is allowed for the wireless communication over the at least one radio bearer;
assembling a first frame comprising one or more packet segments or packets at a MAC or RLC layer;
autonomously truncating at least one of the one or more packet segments or packets at the PHY layer to fit the first frame into a single transmission;
transmitting the first frame, the transmitted first frame comprising the at least one autonomously-truncated packet segment or packet; and
transmitting a second frame comprising at least a truncated portion of the at least one autonomously-truncated packet segment or packet of the first frame in accordance with the autonomous-truncation-handling indicator of the configuration message;
wherein the autonomous-truncation-handling indicator is configurable to indicate one of:
resegmentation-allowed handling, during which a receiver of the first frame retains the at least one autonomously-truncated packet segment or packet; and
resegmentation-free handling, during which the receiver discards the at least one autonomously-truncated packet segment or packet.
