Re: [rohc] Placement of ROHC in Wimax

[Vishranth <[e-mail]>]

Hi Rakesh,
Yes the corrigendum 2 has removed the ROHC functions from CS layer but it
also says that MAC layer provides transport for ROHC packets. Now my doubt
here is that even if all the channel parameters are negotiated by the L2
layer during initial entry how does one identify a compressed data packet to
its inteded destination. If there are multiple connections from one BS(RAS)
to many SS(PSS) and if each SS(PSS) has negotiated multile ROHC channels
again then just by looking at the ROHC Context ID in the ROHC packet CS
layer can't decide on where the packet is destined to. (I m sorry I m
posting a WiMax problem scenario in ROHC mailing list but I m trying to go
from my playgrounds to the unknown fields. I was involved in ROHC for
sometime now and am moving to WiMax hence thought of asking here if anyone
had a clue about this.)
For the solution to this problem I was looking over various ROHC over X
documents and till now have found only ROHC over PPP. Is there any
possibility of having a standard "ROHC over Ethernet" or "ROHC over GRE". I
hope there are still some Reserved bits for the protocol field in both the
L2 layer protocol which could help us in identifying the underlying protocol
but how does one see the service flow in all this?
We are having a scenario like below in mind
   _____                              _______                                       
______
  |SS    |    Air interfce link    | BS      |     Wired 802. interface     
| ASN  |
  |ROHC|<------------------>| WiMax|<------------------------->|ROHC
|<----------> Core Network
  |_____|                            |______|      Ethernet/GRE/etc.
