Technical Summary
The Static Context Header Compression and Fragmentation (SCHC)
specification, RFC8724, describes header compression and
fragmentation functionalities for Low Power Wide Area Networks
(LPWAN) technologies. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)
and the Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) architectures may
adopt SCHC to improve their capacities.
This I-D describes the use of SCHC over the NB-IoT architecture and
provides the configuration in each case. If 3GPP adopts SCHC, then
this I-D recommends some values.
Working Group Summary
There was no opposition but the group involvement was limited beyond a few
usual suspects. The good news is that those were deeply involved in the WG
products, so we chairs believe that the document is good enough for good RFC.
We need a strong signal to 3GPP that we can do IPv6 on the NB-IoT non-IP data
channel at little extra cost. This is the only known method to achieve this.
Document Quality
There are no known implementation.
A liaison statement to 3GPP [1] was sent for action, i.e., review the I-D
at the IETF Last Call stage.
