The RLC protocol is responsible for data transfer in unacknowledged, acknowledged, or transparent mode depending on the type of traffic. The MAC layer handles scheduling, link adaptation, random access, and mapping logical channels to transport channels with HARQ error correction. The physical layer handles transmission, channel coding, modulation, and mapping transport channels to physical channels.

Radio Link Control, RLC, protocol is responsible for data transfer in
unacknowledged, acknowledged or transparent mode. For example, unacknowledged mode
could be used for Voice over IP while acknowledged mode is used to carry TCP-based traffic. The transparent mode shall be only used to send RRC messages when no RLC unacknowledged or acknowledged mode entity is set up yet. Medium Access Control, MAC, layer is responsible for Uplink/Downlink Scheduling, Link Adaptation, Preamble based Random Access, Mapping between Logical channels to Transport channels, Error Correction by means of The Hybrid ARQ (HARQ) protocol. The Physical Layer is responsible for the actual transmission over the radio interface. It is also responsible for channel coding, Modulation and the mapping between Transport Channels to Physical Channels.
