Abstract

ROHC Bormann C., et al. (2001) is the new standard for header compression proposed by the IETF (Internet engineering task force) to compress different protocol headers. ROHC needs to be configured to afford the changes in the characteristics of the UMTS radio link and to enable a better compression of the IPv6 flows. In this document we will introduce the characteristics and the behavior of ROHC. Also we study the compression parameters that are recommended as implementation dependent in the ROHC specification and we show how to configure them. This study can help to improve the efficiency and robustness of ROHC when it is used in scarce resources links, such as UMTS.
