Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus for packet communication using header compression. The method includes applying a header compression protocol to generate a packet to be transmitted, determining whether the packet is dropped in a transport layer, and transmitting, if it is determined that the packet is dropped, a full packet having an uncompressed header.

Abstract: A method for retaining a Robust Header Compression (ROHC) state in a User Equipment (UE) during switching from a Voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) call to a video call or vice versa is provided. When the VoLTE call is in progress and if a user switches the VoLTE call to the video call, then the RTP header information is sent to an Application Processor (AP) from a Communication Processor (CP). The ROHC compressor continues the compression of the RTP packets using the existing built context for the video call. Further, when the video call is in progress and if the user switches the video call to the VoLTE call, then the RTP header information is sent to the CP from the AP. The ROHC context is reused by exchanging the RTP header information between the AP and the CP.

Abstract: A method and system is provided for optimizing Radio resources during a VoLTE call when ROHC is enabled by indicating an IP-ID value using an identifier in an Initial and Refresh (IR) packet. During the VoLTE call, when value of a static IP-ID is zero, the ROHC compressor appends an identifier in the IR packet and enables the identifier for indicating the static IP-ID value to the ROHC decompressor. Further, the ROHC compressor sends the IR packet to the ROHC decompressor by enabling the identifier for indicating the static IP-ID value during the ROHC context. The ROHC decompressor receives the IR packet and determines the identifier in the IR packet. If the identifier is enabled in the IR packet then the ROHC decompressor sets the IP-ID value as zero during generation of decompressed IP header.

Abstract: A method and a system for handling audio packets in a Voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) call by a User Equipment (UE) when Robust Header Compression (ROHC) is enabled are provided. The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) layer provides the VoLTE call properties to the ROHC compressor. The TCP/IP layer receives the audio packets from audio engine and sends the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) packets to a ROHC compressor. Further, the ROHC compressor compresses the Internet Protocol/User Datagram Protocol (IP/UDP) headers and a RTP header. The ROHC compressor sends the compressed RTP data along with a payload to the network in the UpLink (UL) data path. During DownLink (DL) data path, ROHC decompressor receives compressed ROHC packet from network. The ROHC decompressor ignores the construction of IP/UDP headers for the compressed data.
