APPARATUS, AND AN ASSOCIATED METHOD, FOR COMMUNICATING DATA IN HEADER-REDUCED FORM

摘要

Apparatus, and an associated method, for communicating data pursuant to a communication session, such as a VoIP communication session between communication endpoint nodes in header-reduced form. Header reduction is performed at the communication endpoint nodes, obviating the need for the operations to be performed at the network. A reservation request message is generated at the communication endpoint nodes, and a mapping is formed by a mapper at the network part. The mapping is used to cause routing of the data packets in the header-reduced form between the communication endpoint nodes.
