Compression static and semi-static context transfer

A computer program product, comprising:

• a computer-readable medium comprising code for:
• receiving at least one indicator that indicates what portion of compression context is transferred from a source base station to a target base station to facilitate establishing full compression context between the mobile device and the target base station during a handover of the mobile device from the source base station to the target base station;
• and
• communicating with the target base station to establish any remaining portion of compression context that remains to be established after handover of the mobile device to the target base station, the remaining portion of compression context to be established is determined based at least in part on the at least one indicator.

In a wireless communications system, an apparatus comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• receive at least one indicator that specifies what portion of compression context is transferred from a source base station to a target base station to facilitate establishing full compression context between the mobile device and the target base station during a handover of the mobile device from the source base station to the target base station;
• and
• communicate with the target base station to establish any remaining portion of compression context that remains to be established after handover of the mobile device to the target base station, the remaining portion of compression context to be established is determined based at least in part on the at least one indicator.

A wireless communications apparatus, comprising:

• a memory that retains instructions related to:
• transmission of a subset of compression context from a source base station to a target base station to facilitate establishing at least the subset of compression context prior to or during inter-base-station handover of the mobile device from the source base station to the target base station, and
• transmission of at least one message comprising at least one indicator to the mobile device, the at least one indicator specifies the subset of compression context transmitted to the target base station to enable the mobile device to determine the subset of compression context established by the target base station prior to or during handover of the mobile device to the target base station based at least in part on the at least one indicator;
• and
• a processor, coupled to the memory, configured to execute the instructions retained in the memory.
