Abstract:
1. A method for optimizing Robust Header Compression (ROHC) between an Access Network (AN) having a compressor and an Access Terminal (AT) having a decompressor, comprising: setting an initial value of jitter to be an identical value at the compressor at the AN and the decompressor at the AT, wherein the initial value of jitter is selected as the value of jitter before the compressor at the AN; receiving compressed TS fields from the AN to the AT, wherein the compression used is based on the initial jitter value; determining if the received jitter value exceeds or falls below a threshold value based on the initial jitter value; and upon a determination that the received jitter value exceeds or falls below the threshold value, sending a JITTER option from the decompressor of the AT to the AN, wherein the JITTER option prompts the AN to modify the compression used to compress the TS fields.
