Today the interest for global broadband access has led to the integration of hybrid networks that can provide wide area coverage and new services. Although satellite network plays a vital role in providing coverage over the surface of the earth, Line-Of-Sight (LOS) is still an obstacle in satellite communications. Thus a hybrid network between satellite and terrestrial wireless systems (IEEE802.16 WiMAX) will be the key to affordable services that can provide broadband connectivity to rural and remote areas. In this paper, a header compression scheme is proposed over hybrid satellite-WiMAX network. The proposed header compression scheme (Hybrid-ROHC or in short H-ROHC) will enable the saving of resources over the hybrid network where bandwidth is a premium.
