Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new profile, ROHC(RObust Header Compression) profile 7, for SCTP with ROHC for applying robust header compression SCTP, which is a transport layer protocol. The proposed new profile 7 adds a new field of 1 or 2 byte size on the existing SCTP packet header, which can make the SCTP stream to be diveded into acknowledgement stream and data stream. In addition, the classification of the stream can be used for recovering fault context. Consequently, in the case of using proposed ROHC-SCTP, it is possible to reduce the SCTP header overhead rate and also can be saved bandwidth.

본 논문에서는 무선을 포함한 패킷 전송에서의 효율성을 위해 차세대 전송 계층 프로토콜인 SCTP에 ROHC(RObust Header Compression)을 적용한 ROHC 프로파인 7(ROHC-SCTP)을 제안한다. 제안된 ROHC-SCTP는 SNR(Sequence Number ROHC)-SCTP의 1 또는 2 바이트 길이의 새로운 필드를 SCTP 패킷 헤더에 추가하여, SCTP 멀티 스트림을 acknowledgement 스트림과 data 스트림으로 나누어 헤더 압축을 하며, 동기화 손실이 발생한 경우 context를 복구하는데 사용될 수 있도록 설계되었다. ROHC-SCTP의 제안을 통해 SCTP 헤더의 오버헤드 율을 최대 25%까지 감소할 수 있으며 대역폭 또한 최대 5% 정도 절약할 수 있다.
