Abstract:
1. A method of compressing and transmitting a finalized data packet from a communication station having an application controller that controls a payload generator module and a header generator module, wherein the finalized data packet includes a payload information part and a header information part, the header information part including a plurality of header information fields, the method comprising: creating by the application controller, a preparatory packet having a header and an uncompressed preparatory payload; compressing the preparatory packet header by the header generator module; computing by the application controller, a resulting header overhead for the compressed preparatory packet header; determining by the application controller, a media codec rate based on the computer header overhead; creating by the paylaod generator module, a finalized payload; encoding the finalized payload by the payload generator module at the determined media codec rate; replacing by the payload generator module, the preparatory payload with the finalized payload to create a compressed finalized packet; and transmitting the compressed finalized packet.
