BANDWIDTH-DEPENDENT COMPRESSOR FOR ROBUST HEADER COMPRESSION AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF

摘要

A bandwidth-dependent robust header compression (RoHC) compressor and a method of RoHC. One embodiment of the bandwidth-dependent RoHC compressor is embodied in a protocol stack, including: (1) a bandwidth estimator operable to generate an indicator of excess bandwidth on a channel over which a data flow having original packet headers compressed at an initial compression level is transmitted, and (2) a robust header compression (RoHC) compressor operable to gain access to the indicator and select a reduced compression level based on the indicator.

1. A protocol stack, comprising:
a bandwidth estimator operable to generate an indicator of excess bandwidth on a channel over which a data flow having original packet headers compressed at an initial compression level is transmitted; and a robust header compression (RoHC) compressor operable to gain access to said indicator and select a reduced compression level based on said indicator.
