Byte caching in wireless communication networks

A computer program storage product for performing byte caching in a wireless communication network device with a first byte caching system, the computer program storage product comprising:

• a non-transitory storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method comprising
• receiving a plurality of data packets through an internet protocol (IP) data flow established between a wireless communication device and at least one server;
• combining each of the plurality of data packets into a single packet bundle, wherein the combining comprises combining a payload from each of the plurality of data packets into a combined payload and storing the combined payload in the packet bundle;
• dividing the combined payload into a plurality of byte sequences;
• determining that a second byte caching system has previously received only a subset of the plurality of byte sequences;
• based on the second byte caching system having previously received only a subset of the plurality of byte sequences, transforming the packet bundle to include the subset of the plurality of byte sequences and a set of signatures each representing one of a remaining set of the plurality of byte sequences;
• and
• sending the transformed packet bundle to the second byte caching system via an IP communication mechanism.
