Claims
- 1. A communication entity for facilitating compressed message communication, said communication entity comprising:
a context table containing context information associated with at least one communication message; a compressor, in communication with said context table, said compressor using said context information to compress at least one transmitted communication message; and a decompressor, in communication with said context table, said decompressor using said context information to decompress at least one received communication message.
- 2. The communication entity of claim 1, wherein said context information comprises at least a portion of at least one information field of said at least one communication message.
- 3. The communication entity of claim 2, wherein said at least a portion of said at least one information field comprises at least one header field.
- 4. The communication entity of claim 3, wherein said at least one header field comprises at least one Internet Protocol header field.
- 5. The communication entity of claim 1, wherein said context information comprises a dictionary.
- 6. The communication entity of claim 1, wherein said at least one transmitted communication message is transmitted using a f irst communication channel and said at least one received communication message is received over a second communication channel, said first communication channel and said second communication channel comprising a channel pair.
- 7. The communication entity of claim 1, wherein said communication entity comprises a mobile terminal.
- 8. The communication entity of claim 1, wherein said communication entity comprises a base station.
- 9. The communication entity of claim 1, wherein said at least one transmitted communication message is compressed using a first context, and said at least one received communication message is decompressed using a second context.
- 10. The communication entity of claim 9, wherein said first context is substantially the same as said second context.
- 11. A method for facilitating compressed message communication, said method comprising the steps of:
maintaining a context table containing context information associated with at least one communication message; compressing at least one transmitted communication message using said context information; and decompressing at least one received communication message using said context information.
- 12. The method of claim 11, wherein said context information comprises at least one information field of said at least one communication message.
- 13. The method of claim 12, wherein said at least one information field comprises at least one header field.
- 14. The method of claim 13, wherein said at least one header field comprises at least one Internet Protocol header field.
- 15. The method of claim 11, wherein said context information comprises a dictionary.
- 16. A method for facilitating compressed message communication, said method comprising the steps of:
compressing a first communication message having first context information to produce a first compressed message; storing said first context information in a context table; transmitting said first compressed message over a first communication channel; receiving a second compressed message over a second communication channel; decompressing said second compressed message to produce a second communication message having second context information; and storing said second context information in said context table.
- 17. The method of claim 16, wherein said first communication channel and said second communication channel comprising a channel pair.
- 18. The method of claim 16, wherein at least one of said first context information and said second context information comprises at least one information field of an Internet Protocol.
- 19. The method of claim 18, wherein said at least one information field comprises at least one header field.
- 20. The method of claim 16, wherein at least one of said first context information and said second context information forms an entry in a dictionary.
- 21. A method for facilitating compressed message communication between a first communication entity and a second communication entity, said method comprising:
compressing, at said first entity, at least a first communication message using a first context table; compressing, at said first entity, at least a second communication message using said first context table; transmitting to said second entity, by said first entity, said at least a first communication message using a first communication session, said first communication session having associated first context information; transmitting to said second entity, by said first entity, said at least a second communication message using a second communication session, said second communication session having associated second context information, said first context information substantially equal to said second context information.
- 22. The method of claim 21, said method further comprising:
receiving, at said second entity, said at least a first communication message using said first communication session; receiving, at said second entity, said at least a second communication message using said second communication session; decompressing, at said second entity, said at least a first communication message using a second context table; decompressing, at said second entity, said at least a second communication message using said second context table.
