ROHC in LTE: Compression Techniques

This document discusses Robust Header Compression (ROHC) in LTE networks. ROHC is used to compress headers of IP packets like IPv4, IPv6, UDP, and RTP to reduce their size from 40-60 bytes down to 2-3 bytes. This compression saves bandwidth and is useful for real-time applications like voice calls, texting, and gaming that generate many small packets. The document describes the basics of ROHC including its implementation in the PDCP layer and use of compressor and decompressor state machines. It also covers ROHC modes of operation, profiles, logs, and calculations for VoLTE packet size and scheduling blocks with and without ROHC enabled.

ROHC BASICS

What is ROHC?

Compresses the header of various IP Packets such as IPv4, IPv6, UDP, RTP, TCP etc.

Why & Where it is used?

Ideally ROHC reduces the size of the header from 40 bytes/60 bytes into 2 to 3 bytes.
Used for applications like VoIP, short messages, gaming etc.

Data Path

ROHC compressor & decompressor is implemented in PDCP layer.


ROHC can be characterized as an interaction between two state machines
Compressor machine
Decompressor machine

Compression & Decompression States

COMPRESSOR STATE

DECOMPRESSOR STATE

Sends uncompressed headers

Sends only those information that are diff.


from initial transaction, i.e few static fields
that needs to be updated

Perform real compression which is


completely predictable, changing fields like
RTP sequence number..

IR : Initialization & Refresh

FO: First Order State
SO: Second Order state

Calculation of VoLTE Packet Size vs Scheduling Block:

VoLTE packet size:For AMR-WB-12.65 kbps codec (12.65 coder generates 253 bits of coded speech every 20 ms)
VoLTE Packet size for 20 ms frame = 12.65 kbps * 1000 bits * 0.02 ms = 253 bits
Header size for IPv4/UDP/RTP packet = 40 bytes = 320 bits [ROHC=Disabled]
Compressed header size for IPv4/UDP/RTP packet= 3 bytes = 24 bits [ROHC=Enabled]
RLC & MAC Layer header = >2 bytes = >16 bits
Total VoLTE packet size for 20 ms = 253+320+16= 589 bits means 600 bits(approx.)
[ROHC=Disabled]
Total VoLTE packet size for 20 ms = 253+24+16= 293 bits means 300 bits(approx.)
[ROHC=Enabled]

Calculation of VoLTE Packet Size vs Scheduling Block :

VoLTE vs PRB:No of REs in 1 Scheduling Block (1 ms) = 12 subcarrier * 14 symbols = 168 Resource
element
25% of REs are utilized as overhead i.e PDCCH, RS, PBCH etc , so usable REs = 120
(approx.)
So for CQI= 1 Modulation scheme= QPSK,
Coding rate for CQI=1, 78/1024 = 0.076
Each RE can hold = 2 (Bits as per QPSK) * 0.076 = 0.152 bit per RE on an average
1 Scheduling Block can carry = 120 (Usable REs) * 0.152 (Bit per RE) = 18.24 bits
Since the size of 1 VoLTE packet = 300 bits [when ROHC enabled]
= 600 bits [when ROHC disabled]
So 16 Scheduling Blocks are required when ROHC enabled (300/18.24)
& 33 Scheduling Blocks are required when ROHC disabled (600/18.24)
