A method for mapping first coded TFCI symbols and second coded TFCI symbols to a radio frame in a transmission apparatus of a mobile communication system for encoding k first TFCI bits and second TFCI bits, a sum of the first coded TFCI symbols and the second coded TFCI symbols being 32. In a preferred embodiment, an IO adapter is configured to break partitioning rules, for example, to attempt to access addresses outside a valid address range. In the event that the reorder buffer exceeds the depth limit, backpressure with respect to a source associated with the reorder buffer is sent. The hard face and cooperating reinforcing layers serve to disburse energy caused by the impact of an incoming projectile with the armor system, while the resilient layer serves to retain any pieces of the hard face and reinforcing layers fractured during ballistic impact.
