Abstract
A communication interface and method for efficient robust header compression (RoHC). One embodiment of the communication interface includes: (1) a data flow associated with a context ID (CID) and a data flow status indicator, and having packets, and (2) a robust header compression (RoHC) compressor configured to employ the CID to compress headers of the packets and to mark the CID as reusable by another data flow if the data flow status indicator indicates the data flow is terminated.
