Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for wireless communications. A base station and wireless device may communicate capability information associated with a wireless device. The base station may communicate a radio resource control message comprising an Ethernet header compression parameter. The wireless device may send, based on the capability information and the Ethernet header compression parameter, an Ethernet frame comprising a compressed Ethernet header.
