Robust header compression for cellular IoT

Sammanfattning: In this Master Thesis we aim to evaluate the Robust Header Compression protocol in cel- lular IoT. The initial results show that RoHC may decrease the energy consumption signif- icantly due to its reduction of the header size. The reduction in the header size decreases the required transmission window which in turn decreases the energy consumption. The result also show that Robust Header Compression is suitable for hardware acceleration but we are unsure if the hardware acceleration may be suitable for an IoT device since it would increase the required chip area.
