Abstract
Systems and methods for header compression are described. In various implementations, these systems and methods may be applicable to wireless backhaul systems. For example, a method may include receiving a packet at a backhaul modem from an Ethernet switch, the packet having an uncompressed header comprising a concatenation of at least an Ethernet and an Internet Protocol (IP) header, and a payload; parsing the uncompressed header into a plurality of fields, the plurality of fields including a static field and a derivable field; removing the static field and the derivable field from the uncompressed header; adding a compressed field to the uncompressed header to create a compressed header; and transmitting the packet with the compressed header and the payload over a wireless link.
