1. A method for formatting a medium access control-protocol data unit (MAC-PDU) in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:
generating a medium access control (MAC) header comprising a medium access control layer service access point (MAC-SAP) identifier and length of MAC SDU and
appending the MAC header to at least two successive medium access control-service data units (MAC-SDUs), if said at least two MAC-SDUs have the same characteristics,
wherein the MAC-SAP identifier identifies a plurality of logical channels on which the MAC-SDUs are transferred through a MAC-SAP located between the logical channel and a MAC sublayer, and wherein the plurality of logical channels are mapped to a single transport channel.
