This is a revised agenda for the robust header compression 
BOF to be held today Tuesday. As this is the night of the
social event, we will ignore the break and instead aim to
finish 17.45 at the latest.

Robust Header compression BOF (robhc)

Tuesday, November 9 at 1545-1800

DESCRIPTION:
The cellular community is now standardizing the next generation cellular
systems. These systems will use IP to deliver telephony to coming mobile
phones, to allow end-to-end IP telephony. As cellular bandwith is expensive,
radio spectrum efficiency is of outmost importance and thus the IP/UDP/RTP
headers must be compressed over the air. 3GPP has specified the requirements
for the needed header compression scheme and it has been shown that no current
header compression scheme in the IETF can satisfy these requirements. CRTP
[RFC-2508] is the closest candidate but is not sufficiently robust against
errors on the link, i.e., CRTP cannot deliver acceptable performance at the
anticipated error rates. It is likely that the number of users of cellular
IP telephony will be larger than the current number of people using TCP/IP,
therefore it is important that a suitable header compression scheme is 
developed.

The BOF will outline the relevant properties of the cellular links, the
requirements, and will explain why CRTP fails. One or more proposals for
a suitable header compression scheme will be presented, and finally we 
will discuss if and how the IETF will work on standardizing a suitable
header compression scheme.
