[lp-wan] SCHC C implementation

[Bart Moons <[e-mail]>]

Dear Hannes,

Recently we published a paper "Using SCHC for an optimzed protocol stack in multimodal LPWAN solutions" ( http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-8613162 ) (http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-8613162).
It reviews SCHC compression and fragmentation and compares it to other compression and fragmentation techniques.
I made a C implementation for the compression and the fragmentation and briefly describe my approach in the paper.

I was planning to share the library with the community the coming months, but since you are interested, I can maybe speed up the process.
I'll keep you updated.
Kind regards,
Bart
