DATA COMPRESSION IN A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

摘要

A method and apparatus for handling data compression in a mobile communication network. A node located between a mobile terminal and a mobility anchor point determines compression information relating to data transferred between the node and the mobile terminal. It then sends the compression information to a network repository node for storage and retrieval by a further node in the event that subsequent mobility of the mobile terminal leads to transferring data between the mobile terminal and the further node.
