Impact of TCP/IP header compression on the performance of a cellular system

چکیده
This paper reports on studies of the effects of the TCP/IP protocol header on the system performance of a spectrally efficient cellular system. Integrated cellular-system and TCP-protocol simulations are used to examine the degradation in the effective data throughput and packet delay due to the header overhead. Performance improvements achievable by header compression are investigated. Simulations have been designed for an EDGE-like cellular system. Systemwide performance is examined using cumulative distributions for data throughput, delay and packet success. For example, the data throughput of a micro-cellular system with Web traffic is improved about 10% when header compression from 40 to 2 bytes is implemented. More aggressive compression yielded minimal further improvements.

Performance evaluation and implementation of IP and robust header compression schemes for TCP and UDP traffic in static and dynamic wireless contexts
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 کاملA new header compression scheme for TCP streams in IP based wireless networks
The current trend in the telecommunication world is the proposal of a universal telecommunication system deriving from the convergence between mobile telephony and data transmission. To achieve such a convergence in an efficient way, it is presumably necessary to utilize a network platform totally based on TCP/IP architecture (an “All-IP Network”). However, the encapsulation process of TCP/IP w...
