Patent ID: 8848684

Claim:
In a mobile communication system, a radio access network comprising: a controller adapted to receive user equipment (UE) capability information from a UE, and further adapted to independently configure a plurality of uplink parameters for a compressor in the UE and a plurality of downlink parameters for a decompressor in the UE based on the UE capability information, wherein at least one uplink parameter, which has an uplink parameter value and is configured among the plurality of uplink parameters, is different from at least one downlink parameter, which has a downlink parameter value and which is configured among the plurality of downlink parameters, wherein the at least one uplink parameter comprises a Packet Sized Allowed parameter and the at least one downlink parameter comprises a Reverse Decompression Depth parameter; and a transmitter adapted to transmit the configured plurality of uplink parameters and the configured plurality of downlink parameters to the UE, wherein the plurality of uplink parameters and the plurality of downlink parameters are related to a robust header compression (ROHC) scheme, wherein the plurality of uplink parameters comprise a Max_CID parameter, and wherein the plurality of downlink parameters comprise a Max_CID parameter.
