METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING DATA PACKETS IN A CELLULAR COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

The invention introduces a method for transmitting data packets of a call in a communication network, an edge node, a communication network and a computer program for performing said method. In the invented method, packets are sent between two edge nodes, wherein a first edge node removes redundant headers and replaces them by a new header, defined for the transmission of data packets between the edge nodes. Information that is necessary for the rebuilding of the removed headers is sent on a different path to the edge nodes, once, and stored in said edge nodes.
