Ballot Text

Technical Summary

This document describes the use of SCHC (Static context Header Compression)
compression and fragmentation rules for RFC 8724 and RFC 8824 over the SIGFOX
technology.

Working Group Summary

This document was discussed at several LPWAN interim meetings. There was never
any form of opposition against it. This I-D uses the new compound-ack fragmentation
mode described in a new doc.

Sigfox solution has been developed by a group
   of 5-6 people very active people who implement open source code and proprietary
   stacks for SCHC. The group has accepted the solution they bring in this I-D.

Document Quality

   The newest implementation is under “The SCHC over Sigfox Project.” 
   in github (https://github.com/schc-over-sigfox).

   Also, there are some based implementations in: 
   Server code:
   https://github.com/saguilarDevel/schc-sigfox
   Device code (LoPy4): 
   https://github.com/saguilarDevel/schcFox

   Furthermore, a simulator can be found here:
