New SIP Headers for Reducing SIP Message Size
2006
Current SIP messages are text based and inherently large, especially
when these messages are to be transmitted over the bandwidth-strained
wireless access technologies (a typical orginiating SIP Invite is
about 1200 bytes). For most wireless technologies, transmitting the
session initiation messages (such as SIP Invite) over the signaling
channel can reduce the call setup time substantially. The size
limitation of these wireless signaling channels are typically very
small (~210 bytes in the uplink and ~110 bytes in the downlink). To
address this problem, a new function called Encoding Assitant (EA) has
been introduced in the User Agent (UA) and in the SIP Proxy server
within the network. Additionally, the method provided in this document
defines new SIP option tags and headers. These new option tags and
headers allow the UA and a SIP Proxy server within the network (such
as the P-CSCF), to exchange information using the signaling channels
supported by most wireless access networks.
