Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: identifying, by one or more processors of one or more devices, a request for a bearer channel between a user device and a base station; identifying, based on the request and by one or more processors of the one or more devices, one or more attributes of the bearer channel; receiving, by the one or more devices, information correlating a set of conditions regarding bearer channel attributes to a set of header compression policies; determining, based on the identified one or more attributes of the bearer channel and by one or more processors of the one or more devices, that a particular condition, of the set of conditions, is satisfied; identifying, by one or more processors of the one or more devices, a particular header compression policy, of the set of header compression policies, associated with the particular condition; storing, by one or more processors of the one or more devices, information identifying that the bearer channel is associated with the particular header compression policy; identifying, by one or more processors of the one or more devices, traffic that is to be sent via the bearer channel; determining, based on the particular header compression policy and by one or more processors of the one or more devices, that header compression should be performed on the traffic; generating, based on determining that the header compression should be performed and by one or more processors of the one or more devices, header-compressed traffic by performing the header compression on the traffic; and outputting, by the one or more devices, the generated header-compressed traffic.
