Abstract

This paper presents an experimental study of TCPHC, a novel algorithm for compressing the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) header to reduce its overhead in IPv6-enabled Low-power and Lossy Networks (6LoWPANs). Results show that TCPHC outperforms TCP both in low-loss and high-loss networks. In fact, TCPHC can reduce the TCP header to 6 bytes in more than 95% of the cases. Moreover, experimental results show that our TCP header compression algorithm reduces the energy consumption by up to 15%.
