9.11.4.28 Ethernet header compression configuration

Taught in 4. Inside TS 24.501, the document at the centre (CT1 — the group that writes what your phone says, overview).

The purpose of the Ethernet header compression configuration information element is to negotiate the use of EHC and the length of the CID field in the EHC packet (see 3GPP TS 38.323 [29]).

The Ethernet header compression configuration information element is coded as shown in figure 9.11.4.28.1 and table 9.11.4.28.1.

The Ethernet header compression configuration is a type 4 information element with the length of 3 octets.
