Static Context Header Compression (SCHC) over LoRaWAN
draft-ietf-lpwan-schc-over-lorawan-02
Abstract
The Static Context Header Compression (SCHC) specification describes
generic header compression and fragmentation techniques for LPWAN
(Low Power Wide Area Networks) technologies. SCHC is a generic
mechanism designed for great flexibility, so that it can be adapted
for any of the LPWAN technologies.
This document provides the adaptation of SCHC for use in LoRaWAN
networks, and provides elements such as efficient parameterization
and modes of operation. This is called a profile.

1. Introduction
The Static Context Header Compression (SCHC) specification
[I-D.ietf-lpwan-ipv6-static-context-hc] describes generic header
compression and fragmentation techniques that can be used on all
LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Networks) technologies defined in
[RFC8376]. Even though those technologies share a great number of
common features like star-oriented topologies, network architecture,
