Dynamic Header Compression for Uplink Data for Improving Uplink Link Budget

摘要

A wireless communication device (UE) may identify a data flow type associated with data packets to be wirelessly transmitted by the wireless communication device over a wireless network during uplink communications. The UE may determine, based on the data flow type, whether to perform header compression for the data packets on a default bearer assigned to the wireless communication device and associated with the data flow for wireless communications over the wireless network. The UE may perform packet header compression for data flow types for which the packet header size is at least a specified percentage of the total packet size. Packet header compression on the default bearer may be enabled at all times, in which case the UE may indicate to the network whether the UE supports header compression on the default bearer. Alternately, the UE may trigger header compression on the default bearer based on application requirements.
