Patent number: 10623230Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that compresses and transmits packets. During operation, the system obtains packets-to-be-compressed at a compressor located at a transmitter that transmits packets through a channel over a network link to a decompressor located at a receiver. The system also obtains cross-layer information regarding the network link from lower-layer network entities in the transmitter. Next, the system uses the cross-layer information to generate estimations for a state of the channel and a state of the decompressor. The system then determines a compression level for the packets-to-be-compressed based on a compression policy and the estimations for the state of the channel and the state of the decompressor. The system subsequently generates packets-to-be-transmitted by compressing headers of the packets-to-be-compressed, wherein the headers are compressed at different levels based on the determined compression level.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2017Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Zhi Ding, Wenhao Wu
