- PIC can be present and used irrespective of the LCID value.
- the PID can allow upper layer to access the MAC layer directly to deliver control PDUs. It can allow the visibility of the control PDUs to the scheduler and hence the scheduler can give such PDUs better QoS treatment. This is in contrast to conventional and typical techniques, where the control PDUs are multiplexed with the data PDU on the same radio bearer.
- the LL/PID field with the reserved bits can allow ample reserved values for future expansion as needed.
