Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Relays can be used to facilitate communication of a packet, such as from a base station to a mobile device. The packet can include a header that designates an intended destination for the packet. The header can transfer such that the intended destination designation can be sent with or without being decompressed at a relay. If there is more than one relay involved in communication, then the header can configure such that the header is accessible without performing decompression. However, if there is one relay stop, then the header can compress the designator in such a way that decompression should occur.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for managing compression of a header of a packet executable upon a wireless communication device, comprising: identifying whether header compression should occur for the packet based upon a number of relay transfers for the packet to reach an intended destination; and determining a manner of compression for the packet, wherein the manner is based upon the identification whether header compression should occur and the number of relay transfers for…
