1. Introduction
SCHC is a compression and fragmentation mechanism for constrained
networks defined in [RFC8724]. It is based on a static context
shared by two entities at the boundary of the constrained network.
[RFC8724] provides a non formal representation of the rules used
either for compression/decompression (or C/D) or fragmentation/
reassembly (or F/R). The goal of this document is to formalize the
description of the rules to offer:
* the same definition on both ends, even if the internal
representation is different.
* an update of the other end to set up some specific values (e.g.
IPv6 prefix, Destination address,...)

This document defines a YANG module to represent both compression and
fragmentation rules, which leads to common representation for values
for all the rules elements.
2. SCHC rules
SCHC is a compression and fragmentation mechanism for constrained
networks defined in [RFC8724]. It is based on a static context
shared by two entities at the boundary of the constrained network.
[RFC8724] provides a non formal representation of the rules used
either for compression/decompression (or C/D) or fragmentation/
reassembly (or F/R). The goal of this document is to formalize the
description of the rules to offer:
* the same definition on both ends, even if the internal
representation is different.
* an update of the other end to set up some specific values (e.g.
IPv6 prefix, Destination address,...)
* ...
This document defines a YANG module to represent both compression and
fragmentation rules, which leads to common representation for values
for all the rules elements.
SCHC compression is generic, the main mechanism does not refer to a
specific protocol. Any header field is abstracted through an ID, a
position, a direction, and a value that can be a numerical value or a
string. [RFC8724] and [RFC8824] specify fields for IPv6, UDP, CoAP
and OSCORE.
SCHC fragmentation requires a set of common parameters that are
included in a rule. These parameters are defined in [RFC8724].
The YANG model allows to select the compression or the fragmentation
using the feature command.

2.1. Compression Rules
[RFC8724] proposes a non formal representation of the compression
rule. A compression context for a device is composed of a set of
rules. Each rule contains information to describe a specific field
in the header to be compressed.

| Rule N |

2.2. Identifier generation
Identifier used in the SCHC YANG Data Model are from the identityref
statement to ensure to be globally unique and be easily augmented if
needed. The principle to define a new type based on a group of
identityref is the following:
* define a main identity ending with the keyword base-type.
Minaburo & Toutain Expires 1 September 2022 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft LPWAN SCHC YANG module February 2022
* derive all the identity used in the Data Model from this base
type.
* create a typedef from this base type.
The example (Figure 3) shows how an identityref is created for RCS
algorithms used during SCHC fragmentation.
// -- RCS algorithm types
identity rcs-algorithm-base-type {
description
"Identify which algorithm is used to compute RSC.
The algorithm also defines the size if the RSC field.";
}
identity rcs-RFC8724 {
base rcs-algorithm-base-type;
description
"CRC 32 defined as default RCS in RFC8724. RCS is 4 byte-long";
}
typedef rcs-algorithm-type {
type identityref {
base rcs-algorithm-base-type;
}
description
"type used in rules.";
}
Figure 3: Principle to define a type based on identityref.
2.3. Field Identifier
In the process of compression, the headers of the original packet are
first parsed to create a list of fields. This list of fields is
matched against the rules to find the appropriate rule and apply
compression. [RFC8724] do not state how the field ID value can be
constructed. In examples, identification is done through a string
indexed by the protocol name (e.g. IPv6.version, CoAP.version,...).
The current YANG Data Model includes fields definitions found in
[RFC8724], [RFC8824].
Using the YANG model, each field MUST be identified through a global
YANG identityref.
A YANG field ID for the protocol always derives from the fid-base-
type. Then an identity for each protocol is specified using the
Minaburo & Toutain Expires 1 September 2022 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft LPWAN SCHC YANG module February 2022
naming convention fid-<<protocol name>>-base-type. All possible
fields for this protocol MUST derive from the protocol identity. The
naming convention is "fid" followed by the protocol name and the
field name. If a field has to be divided into sub-fields, the field
identity serves as a base.
The full field-id definition is found in Section 7. The example
Figure 4 gives the first field ID definitions. A type is defined for
IPv6 protocol, and each field is based on it. Note that the DiffServ
bits derives from the Traffic Class identity.
identity fid-base-type {
description
"Field ID base type for all fields";
}
identity fid-ipv6-base-type {
base fid-base-type;
description
"Field ID base type for IPv6 headers described in RFC 8200";
}
identity fid-ipv6-version {
base fid-ipv6-base-type;
description
"IPv6 version field from RFC8200";
}
identity fid-ipv6-trafficclass {
base fid-ipv6-base-type;
description
"IPv6 Traffic Class field from RFC8200";
}
identity fid-ipv6-trafficclass-ds {
base fid-ipv6-trafficclass;
description
"IPv6 Traffic Class field from RFC8200,
DiffServ field from RFC3168";
}
...
Figure 4: Definition of identityref for field IDs
The type associated to this identity is fid-type (cf. Figure 5)
Minaburo & Toutain Expires 1 September 2022 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft LPWAN SCHC YANG module February 2022
typedef fid-type {
type identityref {
base fid-base-type;
}
description
"Field ID generic type.";
}
Figure 5: Type definition for field IDs
2.4. Field length
Field length is either an integer giving the size of a field in bits
or a specific function. [RFC8724] defines the "var" function which
allows variable length fields in byte and [RFC8824] defines the "tkl"
function for managing the CoAP Token length field.
The naming convention is "fl" followed by the function name.
identity fl-base-type {
description
"Used to extend field length functions.";
}
identity fl-variable {
base fl-base-type;
description
"Residue length in Byte is sent as defined in
for CoAP in RFC 8824 (cf. 5.3).";
}
identity fl-token-length {
base fl-base-type;
description
"Residue length in Byte is sent as defined in
for CoAP in RFC 8824 (cf. 4.5).";
}
Figure 6: Definition of identityref for Field Length
Field ID, field length function can be defined as an identityref as
shown in Figure 6.
Therefore, the type for field length is a union between an integer
giving in bits the size of the length and the identityref (cf.
Figure 7).
Minaburo & Toutain Expires 1 September 2022 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft LPWAN SCHC YANG module February 2022
typedef fl-type {
type union {
type int64; /* positive length in bits */
type identityref { /* function */
base fl-base-type;
}
}
description
"Field length either a positive integer giving the size in bits
or a function defined through an identityref.";
}
Figure 7: Type definition for field Length
2.5. Field position
Field position is a positive integer which gives the position of a
field, the default value is 1, and incremented at each repetition.
value 0 indicates that the position is not important and is not
considered during the rule selection process.
Field position is a positive integer. The type is an uint8.
2.6. Direction Indicator
The Direction Indicator (di) is used to tell if a field appears in
both direction (Bi) or only uplink (Up) or Downlink (Dw).
Minaburo & Toutain Expires 1 September 2022 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft LPWAN SCHC YANG module February 2022
identity di-base-type {
description
"Used to extend direction indicators.";
}
identity di-bidirectional {
base di-base-type;
description

RFC 8724 (cf. 7.1).";
}
identity di-up {

}
identity di-down {
base di-base-type;
description
"Direction Indication of downlink defined in
RFC 8724 (cf. 7.1).";
}
Figure 8: Definition of identityref for direction indicators
Figure 8 gives the identityref for Direction Indicators. The naming
convention is "di" followed by the Direction Indicator name.
The type is "di-type" (cf. Figure 9).
typedef di-type {
type identityref {
base di-base-type;
}
description
"Direction in LPWAN network, up when emitted by the device,
down when received by the device, bi when emitted or
received by the device.";
}

2.7. Target Value
The Target Value is a list of binary sequences of any length, aligned
on the left. Figure 10 gives the definition of a single element of a
Target Value. In the rule, this will be used as a list, with
position as a key. The highest position value is used to compute the
size of the index sent in residue for LSB CDA. The position allows
to specify several values:
* For Equal and LSB, a single value is used, such as for the equal
or LSB CDA, the position is set to 0.
* For match-mapping, several of these values can be contained in a
Target Value field. Position values must start from 0 and be
contiguous.
grouping tv-struct {
description
"Define the target value element. Always a binary type, strings
must be converted to binary. field-id allows the conversion
to the appropriate type.";
leaf value {

}
leaf position {
type uint16;
description
"If only one element position is 0, otherwise position is the
the position in the matching list.";
}
}
Figure 10: Definition of target value
2.8. Matching Operator
Matching Operator (MO) is a function applied between a field value
provided by the parsed header and the target value. [RFC8724]
defines 4 MO as listed in Figure 11.

2.8.1. Matching Operator arguments
They are viewed as a list of tv-struct.
2.9. Compression Decompression Actions
Compression Decompression Action (CDA) identified the function to use
either for compression or decompression. [RFC8724] defines 6 CDA.
Figure 14 gives some CDA definition, the full definition is in
Section 7.
identity cda-base-type {

Figure 14: Type definition for Compresion Decompression Action
2.9.1. Compression Decompression Action arguments
Currently no CDA requires arguments, but the future some CDA may
require several arguments. They are viewed as a list of target-
values-type.
2.10. Fragmentation rule
Fragmentation is optional in the data model and depends on the
presence of the "fragmentation" feature.
Most of parameters for fragmentation are defined in Annex D of
[RFC8724].
Since fragmentation rules work for a specific direction, they contain
a mandatory direction. The type is the same as the one used in
compression entries, but the use of bidirectional is forbidden.
2.10.1. Fragmentation mode
[RFC8724] defines 3 fragmentation modes:
* No Ack: this mode is unidirectionnal, no acknowledgment is sent
back.
* Ack Always: each fragmentation window must be explicitly
acknowledged before going to the next.
* Ack on Error: A window is acknowledged only when the receiver
detects some missing fragments.
Figure 15 give the definition for identifiers from these three modes.

The naming convention is "fragmentation-mode" followed by the
fragmentation mode name.
2.10.2. Fragmentation Header
A data fragment header, directly following the rule ID can be sent on
the fragmentation direction. The direction is mandatory and must be
up or down. bidirectional is forbidden. The SCHC header may be
composed of (cf. Figure 16):
* a Datagram Tag (Dtag) identifying the datagram being fragmented if
the fragmentation applies concurrently on several datagrams. This
field in optional and its length is defined by the rule.
Minaburo & Toutain Expires 1 September 2022 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft LPWAN SCHC YANG module February 2022
* a Window (W) used in Ack-Always and Ack-on-Error modes. In Ack-
Always, its size is 1 and depends on the rule in Ack-on-Error.
This field is not need in No-Ack mode.
* a Fragment Compressed Number (FCN) indicating the fragment/tile
position on the window. This field is mandatory on all modes
defined in [RFC8724], its size is defined by the rule.

+-- ... -+- ... -+---+- ... -+--------...-------+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Figure 16: Data fragment header from RFC8724
2.10.3. Last fragment format
The last fragment of a datagram is sent with an RCS (Reassembly Check
Sequence) field to detect residual transmission error and possible
losses in the last window. [RFC8724] defines a single algorithm
based on Ethernet CRC computation. The identity of the RCS algorithm
is shown in Figure 17.
identity rcs-algorithm-base-type {
description
"Identify which algorithm is used to compute RSC.
The algorithm also defines the size if the RSC field.";
}
identity rcs-RFC8724 {
base rcs-algorithm-base-type;
description
"CRC 32 defined as default RCS in RFC8724. RCS is 4 byte-long";
}
typedef rcs-algorithm-type {

The naming convention is "rcs" followed by the algorithm name.
Minaburo & Toutain Expires 1 September 2022 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft LPWAN SCHC YANG module February 2022
For Ack-on-Error mode, the All-1 fragment may just contain the RCS or
can include a tile. The parameters defined in Figure 18 allows to
define the behavior:
* all1-data-no: the last fragment contains no data, just the RCS
* all1-data-yes: the last fragment includes a single tile and the
RCS
* all1-data-sender-choice: the last fragment may or may not contain
a single tile. The receiver can detect if a tile is present.

Internet-Draft LPWAN SCHC YANG module February 2022
2.10.4. Acknowledgment behavior
A cknowledgment fragment header goes in the opposite direction of
data. The header is composed of (see Figure 19):
* a Dtag (if present).
* a mandatory window as in the data fragment.
* a C bit giving the status of RCS validation. In case of failure,
a bitmap follows, indicating received fragment/tile. The size of
the bitmap is given by the FCN value.
NOTE: IN THE DATA MODEL THERE IS A max-window-size FIELD TO LIMIT THE
BITMAP SIZE, BUT IS NO MORE IN RFC8724! DO WE KEEP IT?
|--- SCHC ACK Header ----|
|-- T --|-M-| 1 |
+-- ... -+- ... -+---+---+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| RuleID | DTag | W |C=1| padding as needed (success)
+-- ... -+- ... -+---+---+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+-- ... -+- ... -+---+---+------ ... ------+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Figure 19: Acknowledgment fragment header for RFC8724
For Ack-on-Error, SCHC defined when acknowledgment can be sent. This
can be at any time defined by the layer 2, at the end of a window
(FCN All-0) or at the end of the fragment (FCN All-1). The following
identifiers (cf. Figure 20) define the acknowledgment behavior.

The naming convention is "ack-behavior" followed by the algorithm
name.
2.10.5. Fragmentation Parameters
The state machine requires some common values to handle
fragmentation:
* retransmission-timer gives in seconds the duration before sending
an ack request (cf. section 8.2.2.4. of [RFC8724]). If specified,
value must be higher or equal to 1.
* inactivity-timer gives in seconds the duration before aborting
(cf. section 8.2.2.4. of [RFC8724]), value of 0 explicitly
indicates that this timer is disabled.
Minaburo & Toutain Expires 1 September 2022 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft LPWAN SCHC YANG module February 2022
* max-ack-requests gives the number of attempts before aborting (cf.
section 8.2.2.4. of [RFC8724]).
* maximum-packet-size gives in bytes the larger packet size that can
be reassembled.
The are defined as unsigned integer, see Section 7.
2.10.6. Layer 2 parameters
The data model includes two parameters needed for fragmentation:
* l2-word-size: [RFC8724] base fragmentation on a layer 2 word which
can be of any length. The default value is 8 and correspond to
the default value for byte aligned layer 2. A value of 1 will
indicate that there is no alignment and no need for padding.
* maximum-packet-size: defines the maximum size of a uncompressed
datagram. By default, the value is set to 1280 bytes.
They are defined as unsigned integer, see Section 7.
3. Rule definition
A rule is either a C/D or an F/R rule. A rule is identified by the
rule ID value and its associated length. The YANG grouping rule-id-
type defines the structure used to represent a rule ID. Length of 0
is allowed to represent an implicit rule.
Three types of rules are defined in [RFC8724]:
* Compression: a compression rule is associated to the rule ID.
* No compression: nothing is associated to the rule ID.
* Fragmentation: fragmentation parameters are associated to the rule
ID. Fragmentation is optional and feature "fragmentation" should
be set.

To access to a specific rule, rule-id and its specific length is used
as a key. The rule is either a compression or a fragmentation rule.
Each context can be identified though a version id.

3.1. Compression rule
A compression rule is composed of entries describing its processing
(cf. Figure 22). An entry contains all the information defined in
Figure 2 with the types defined above.
The compression rule described Figure 2 is defined by compression-
content. It defines a list of compression-rule-entry, indexed by
their field id, position and direction. The compression-rule-entry
element represent a line of the table Figure 2. Their type reflects
the identifier types defined in Section 2.1
Some controls are made on the values:
* target value must be present for MO different from ignore.
* when MSB MO is specified, the matching-operator-value must be
present

- Direction Indicator: a YANG identifier giving the direction.
- Target value: a value against which the header Field is
compared.
- Matching Operator: a YANG id giving the operation, paramters
may be associated to that operator.
- Comp./Decomp. Action: A YANG id giving the compression or
decompression action, paramters may be associated to that
action.

3.2. Fragmentation rule
A Fragmentation rule is composed of entries describing the protocol
behavior. Some on them are numerical entries, others are identifiers
defined in Section 2.10.

The definition of a Fragmentation rule is divided into three sub-
parts:
* parameters such as the the fragmnetation-mode, the l2-word-size
and the direction. Since Fragmentation rules are always defined
for a specific direction, the value must be must be either di-up
or di-down (bi-bidirectional is not allowed).
* parameters defining the Fragmentation header format (dtag-size,
w-size, fcn-size and rcs-algorithm).
* Protocol parameters for timers (inactivity-timer, retransmission-
timer) or behavior (maximum-packet-size, max-interleaved-frames,
max-ack-requests). If these parameters are specific to a single
fragmentation mode, they are regrouped in a choice structure
dedicated to that Fragmentation mode. If some parameters can be
find in several modes, typically ACK-Always and ACK-on-Error.
They are defined in a common part and a when statement indicates
which modes are allowed.
