Evaluation of CRTP performance over cellular radio links

• To make mobile IP telephony over cellular radio systems an economically viable alternative to circuit-switched voice, it is an absolute requirement that the 40-octet IP/UDP/RTP headers on IP telephony packets be reduced in size to conserve bandwidth and radio spectrum. We evaluate the performance of the default header compression scheme for IP/UDP/RTP, CRTP (RFC-2508), over links built on cellular radio access technology. We find that CRTP does not perform adequately over such links, and suggest that a more robust header compression scheme must be developed to make IP telephony over cellular economically viable.
