Abstract

We study context transfer mechanism to reduce large overhead in re-establishing context of header
compression, and propose a two-step method for context transfer of header compression and a real-time trigger
strategy for context transfer using link-layer trigger. The proposed approach avoids the expensive process of
context re-establishment of header compression by transferring header compression context when handovers
are required. The handover delay, packet loss and state migration of header compression with and without
context transfer of header compression are evaluated with NS2. Simulation results show that the method can
establish and synchronize context at the compressor and decompressor so as to reduce the handover impact on
header compression.
