Abstract
A method is disclosed for increasing signaling link capacity between nodes in a digital cellular communications system, wherein the signaling message to be conveyed over the link is compressed. The compressed message received at the other side of the link is then decompressed. As a consequence, the capacity of the signaling links between nodes can be increased up to 100%, and mobile station registration restrictions can be reduced. The method is disclosed for compressing MTP messages, but it can also be used for compressing other signaling messages to improve link capacity.
