LPWAN Static Context Header Compression (SCHC) for CoAP
draft-ietf-lpwan-coap-static-context-hc-09
Abstract
This draft defines the way SCHC header compression can be applied to
CoAP headers. The CoAP header structure differs from IPv6 and UDP
protocols since CoAP uses a flexible header with a variable number of
options, themselves of variable length. The CoAP protocol is
asymmetric in its message format: the format of the packet header in
the request messages is different from that in the response messages.
Most of the compression mechanisms have been introduced in
[I-D.ietf-lpwan-ipv6-static-context-hc], this document explains how
to use the SCHC compression for CoAP.
