To support the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) over wireless networks is essential for transporting real-time data streams. However, the RTP introduces significant header overheads, which cannot be adequately employed in wireless networks. In this paper, an Enhanced Compressed RTP ( ECRTP) with mobility support for wireless networks is presented, which is based on t he Compressed RTP (CRTP). The ECRTP uses the local-link retransmission mechanism to recover transmission errors over wireless

The simulation results present that ECRTP consumes insignificant network bandwidth and maximizes successfully received packets while comparing with RTP and CRTP in an error-prone and bandwidth limited wireless network. Consequently, the playback quality of real-time data streams is improved for wireless networks.
