Header compression for ethernet frame
A radio access network receives from an access and mobility management function, a first message comprising an Ethernet packet filter set for a wireless device. The Ethernet packet filter set comprises: source medium access control address; and a destination medium access control address. The radio access network determines, based on the Ethernet packet filter set, Ethernet header configuration parameters for the wireless device, wherein the Ethernet header configuration parameters comprise: a header compression index indicating the source medium access control address and the destination medium access control address; and Ethernet header profile configuration information element(s) comprising a profile identifier. The radio access network sends to the wireless device, second message(s) comprising the Ethernet header configuration parameters. The radio access network sends to the wireless device, Ethernet packet(s) comprising packet header(s) compressed based on the header compression index and the profile identifier.
