Wireless network demands continually increase as wireless service
providers pursue additional service capabilities. In a cellular
communication system, leased lines between remote cell sites and the
corresponding Mobile Switching Offices (MSOs) remain a major operating
cost. Bandwidth reduction by identification and elimination of payload
data and control information which need not be fully replicated because
it can be deduced from information accessible or previously transmitted
allows fewer lines to support the same bandwidth. A wireless access
gateway is operable to aggregate such redundant and regenerable data on a
backhaul link between a wireless cell site and the corresponding mobile
switching office (MSO) to provide low-latency, type specific lossless
bandwidth reduction. The wireless access gateway identifies regenerable
information and eliminates portions of the data which the device need not
transmit because the data is redundant, or accessible or recreatable, at
the receiving side. In this manner, the access device allows fewer lines
to carry the reduced message traffic by transmitting only the
non-recreatable data and eliminating message traffic for regenerable
information.
