Efficient header compression implementation for IP-based ITS communications

Abstract

The use of IP tunneling has incredibly increased during the last years. It is needed in some contexts such as IP-based ITS communication but implies overhead. This overhead can be reduced using some techniques as header compression. Among them, RoHC is the most advanced header compression standard wich support errorprone link. In this paper we describe our kernel implementation of an opensource RoHC library. We give the first performance results we obtained with our implementation and sketchup some of our future works.
