Claim:
1. In a mobile communication system, a radio access network comprising: a controller adapted to receive mobile terminal capacity information from a mobile terminal and to configure a plurality of uplink parameters relating to header compression and a plurality of downlink parameters relating to header decompression, wherein the plurality of uplink parameters and the plurality of downlink parameters are configured based on the received mobile terminal capacity information and transmitted to the mobile terminal; a compressor for downlink transmission between the radio access network and the mobile terminal, and a decompressor for uplink transmission between the radio access network and the mobile terminal, wherein at least one uplink parameter among the plurality of uplink parameters and at least one downlink parameter among the plurality of downlink parameters are differently configured by the controller, wherein the plurality of uplink parameters are used for a compressor in the mobile terminal and the plurality of downlink parameters are used for a decompressor in the mobile terminal, wherein the plurality of downlink parameters and the plurality of uplink parameters comprise a first profile parameter and a second profile parameter, and wherein the first profile parameter and the second profile parameter are used for the decompressor in the mobile terminal and the compressor in the mobile terminal with respect to the types of packets supported by the decompressor in the mobile terminal and the compressor in the mobile terminal.
