Trafikkavhengig styring av datakomprimering

摘要

A method and arrangement for controlling a data compressor operating in a sub-network convergence layer in a digital communication system. With compression enabled, compression effect is monitored for each packet data unit and data compression may subsequently be disabled depending on monitoring results. With compression disabled, a period between long packet data units is monitored, and compression may subsequently be enabled depending on the period length. Controlling the data compressor this way reduces the overall resource usage.
