First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for replacing a transport layer error detection code in a header compression algorithm, the method comprising the steps of:
- calculating one error detection code covering both a transport layer header and a transport layer payload;
compressing said transport layer header in accordance with said header compression algorithm;
including said error detection code with said compressed transport layer header; and
transmitting said compressed transport layer header.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for replacing a transport layer header error detection code and a header compression algorithm error detection code with a one error detection code. The replacement error detection code covers both the transport layer header and the transport layer payload. Such an arrangement reduces the amount of as-is or uncompressed information transmitted, thereby reducing the required bandwidth. The replacement error detection code is subsequently used to verify the correctness of both the reconstructed header and the payload.
