A.2.1 EHC packet format

A.2.1.1 EHC Full Header packet and EHC Compressed Header packet

Figure A.2.1.1-1 and Figure A.2.1.1-2 show the formats of EHC FH packet and EHC CH packet, respectively.

Figure A.2.1.1-1: EHC Full Header packet format

Figure A.2.1.1-2: EHC Compressed Header packet format

A.2.1.2 EHC feedback packet

Figure A.2.1.2-1 shows the format of the EHC feedback packet.

A.2.2 Parameters

A.2.2.1 F/C

Length: 1 bit

This field indicates whether the corresponding EHC packet is a FH packet or a CH packet.

Table A.2.2.1-1: F/C field

Bit

Description

0

FH packet

1

CH packet

A.2.2.2 CID

Length: 7, or 15 bits. The length of the CID is configured by upper layers (ehc-CID-Length in TS 38.331 [3]).

The CID = "all zeros" indicates that the corresponding Ethernet header is "uncompressed". The EHC decompressor does not establish the EHC context identified by the CID = "all zeros".
