re: UMTS IP Header Compression

First commercial implementation of the Robust Header Compression (ROHC) protocol specified by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)

>> IP Header Compression For 3G Services Launched

Cellular News
November 16, 2001

Effnet Group has released its new product suite for improving the efficiency of wireless IP networks. The new product suite is called EffnetEdge Header Compression Suite for Mobile Networks. The products, which will begin shipping in this quarter, help manufacturers and operators to squeeze up to 300% more interactive content through the mobile phone infrastructure.

By using a technology called header compression, the IP packet header overhead in the communication can be reduced to a minimum, which leaves more capacity for the actual content. The EffnetEdge Header Compression Suite for Mobile Networks includes the world's first commercial implementation of the Robust Header Compression (ROHC) protocol specified by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Robust Header Compression is a vital component of the 3G standards.

The product suite includes all the IP header compression protocols specified by UMTS Releases 3, 4 and 5. The included products, Effnet ROHC (Robust Header Compression) and Effnet IPHC (Internet Protocol Header Compression), implement the official IETF standards RFC 3095 and RFC 2507, respectively. Header compression can reduce total IPv6 packet size by as much as 75%, increasing bandwidth and interactive response while reducing latency and packet loss. <<
