Header elimination for real time internet applications

摘要

The disclosed techniques provide for eliminating real-time transport protocol, RTP, extension bit X, marker bit M, time stamp and sequence number information and/or user data protocol, UDP, checksum information from the header of a packet for transmission.

1. A method of compressing a header, comprising:
compressing a real-time transport protocol, RTP, header portion of packets by removing a time stamp in the header portion of the packets; transmitting the packets at relative time offsets based on the removed time stamps; storing the compressed packet in a medium access control—high speed, MAC-hs, buffer; monitoring a time the compressed packet resides in the MAC-hs buffer; inserting a time stamp into a MAC-hs header portion of the packet, the time stamp indicating the time the compressed packet resided in the MAC-hs buffer; and wherein the transmitting step transmits the packets output from the MAC-hs buffer.
