Claims10
A method of compressing header information to produce a compressed header portion of a data packet to be transmitted across a communication channel, comprising:
- generating a checksum from the header information;
- and
- providing the checksum as the compressed header portion.
An apparatus for compressing header information to produce a compressed header portion of a data packet to be transmitted across a communication channel, comprising:
- an input for receiving the header information;
- a checksum generator coupled to said input for generating a checksum from the header information;
- and
- an output coupled to said checksum generator for providing the checksum as said compressed header portion.
