On implementation and improvement of robust header compression in UMTS
نویسندگان
چکیده
IP protocol overheads are large and need to be compressed when used in UMTS to save radio resources. A robust header compression scheme (ROHC) has been proposed to provide high compression efficiency and high robustness. We study the performance of ROHC in the paper and investigate how to adjust some compression parameters that are recommended as implementation-dependent according to the ROHC specification. Based on our study, we propose to employ power control mechanism already in the UMTS architecture to prevent additional packet losses in the worst cases of consecutive packet losses exceeding the sliding window width. The proposed augmentation can be seen as a network assisted feedback mechanism for ROHC.

Performance Analysis of a Header Compression Protocol: The ROHC Unidirectional Mode
The performance of IPv6 in the radio link can be improved using header compression algorithms. The 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) consortium in its technical specification has adopted the ROHC (RObust Header Compression) protocol of the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) standard track for real-time applications using RTP/UDP/IPv6 and UDP/IPv6. This paper presents the analysis of...
متن کاملVideo Quality Evaluation for Wireless Transmission with Robust Header Compression
IP Header compression mechanisms have always been an important topic for the research community to save bandwidth in the Internet. Due to the high license fees of 3G bands and the upcoming integration of IP based multimedia services, it is of particular importance to reduce the IP header overhead even in the wireless format. Reducing the IP overhead gives the network providers the possibility f...

Modern cellular networks utilising the long–term evolution (LTE) set of standards face an ever–increasing demand for mobile data from connected devices. Header compression is commonly employed to minimise the overhead for IP–based cellular network traffic. In this paper, we evaluate the three header compression implementations used by these networks with respect to their potential throughput in...
متن کاملHeader Compression Based Error Resilience for Wireless Communications
Transmission errors in wireless communications cause detrimental effects on decoded video quality. For error prone low bit rate video transmission, error resilience and error robustness techniques are used to improve the perceived video quality. In packet based transmission, the video packet headers reduce the effective transmission rate and contribute to increase the packet loss rate due to er...
متن کاملRObust Header Compression (ROHC) Performance for Multimedia Transmission over 3G/4G Wireless Networks
RObust Header Compression (ROHC) has recently been proposed to reduce the large protocol header overhead when transmitting voice and other continuous media over IP based protocol stacks in wireless networks. In this paper we evaluate the real-time transmission of GSM encoded voice and H.26L encoded video with ROHC over a wireless link. For the voice transmission we examine the impact of ROHC on...
