1. A method for reducing overhead comprising:

  • concatenating a plurality of packets into a single jumbo packet, each packet of the plurality of packets comprising a header;

    identifying a base header from among the plurality of headers;

    determining a plurality of hamming distances, each hamming distance associated with a respective packet of the plurality of packets other than the base header and indicative of a number of differences between the respective header and another header of the plurality of headers;

    determining a plurality of encoded values, each encoded value associated with a respective packet of the plurality of packets other than the base header and determined based on a difference between the respective header and at least one other header;

    generating a jumbo header comprising the base header, the plurality of hamming distances, and the plurality of encoded values; and

    transmitting the jumbo packet with the jumbo header via a wireless connection.
