An energy-efficient transmission mechanism for VoIP over IEEE 802.11 WLAN

چکیده
Voice over IP (VoIP) over WLAN (VoWLAN) is an important application for public and private WLANs. However, VoWLAN systems suffer from several technical challenges such as power consumption of a WLAN station (STA) and service capacity of an access point (AP), making the commercial deployment of a large-scale VoWLAN service problematic. This study presents a cross-layer and energy-efficient mechanism for transmitting VoIP packets over IEEE 802.11 WLAN. The proposed mechanism considers the characteristics of voice packets that can tolerate certain loss, and dynamically disables the medium access control (MAC) layer acknowledgement for voice packets. In doing so, the time and energy consumed to transmit and receive voice packets for an STA can be reduced. Simulation results demonstrate that the mechanism improves the energy efficiency of a VoWLAN STA and WLAN utilization without sacrificing voice qualities. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

VoIP over wireless local area network (WLAN) is an important application of WLAN and gaining more and more attention recently. In this paper, we analyze the maximum number of VoIP calls in WLAN and propose a new call admission control strategy, namely, adaptive transmitting interval call admission control (ATICAC) to enhance VoIP calls in 802.11 WLANs. In ATICAC strategy, Base Station (BS) adap...

متن کاملComparison of modified dual queue and EDCA for VoIP over IEEE 802.11 WLAN
The popular IEEE 802.11 WLAN today does not provide any quality-of-service (QoS) because of its contention-based channel access nature of the medium access control (MAC). Therefore, we proposed a simple software upgrade-based solution, called a dual queue scheme, to provide QoS to real-time services such as Voice-over-IP (VoIP) in our previous work [7]. The dual queue scheme operates on top of ...
