Voice over IP (VoIP) has the potential to be integrated with other Internet applications to provide interactive multimedia communication services that are impossible (or at least very difficult) to deploy over the traditional circuit-switched wired and wireless networks. To fully exploit the benefit of service integration, it is necessary that VoIP services can be seamlessly provided with a goo...

1 1 SUMMARY The sustained rate of technological change in the telecommunications industry has opened up significant windows of opportunities for telecommunications networks operators to develop value-added services and multimedia applications. The growth of the Internet raises the issue of a possible migration from traditional circuit-switched networks designed for basic voice communication tow...

The utilization of VoIP (Voice over IP) in UMTS networks requires the establishment of adequated rules in order to maximize the efficiency of transmission over the air interface. Here we will describe a technique, based on the reduction of voice packet overhead, with the objective of minimizing the power expended during a typical conversation.

Voice over IP (VoIP) is a promising low-cost voice communication over thewireless IP network. To provide satisfactoryVoIP services, theQuality of Service (QoS) of thewireless network should be guaranteed. This paper proposes aVoIP performance measurement freeware called NCTU VoIP Testing Tool (NCTU-VT). We compare NCTU-VT with two commercial tools SmartVoIPQoS and IxChariot in terms of packet l...

Sammendrag/Abstract: The motivating vision behind SIPtel is to determine to what extent it is possible to facilitate full-scale deployment of a SIP-based voice over IP (VoIP) service upon UNINETT's production network. To initiate such a determination, the primary goal of Phase 1 within SIPtel project has been to test and evaluate a SIP-based video-conferencing framework for voice over IP (VoIP)...

The paper presents a performance study of wireless MESH networks in the context of the convergent transmission. Nowadays, the integration of voice, video and data is becoming the norm. However, the wireless LAN environment, and especially MESH technology is an unfriendly environment due to its characteristics. Therefore, the impact of the size of transmitted frames to delays in the network base...

Compared to traditional (PSTN) voice networks, a Voice over Internet Protocol network is a convergence of a signaling network and a data network using Internet Protocol (IP). The use of shared media by VoIP systems opens the door to some uncertainty as to the source of a call. While in the traditional voice networks one has to tap into a specific circuit to eavesdrop, in an IP network any equip...

This paper presents Mobile Voice Over IP, an application-level protocol to support terminal mobility in real-time applications such as voice over IP, on a wireless local area network. We describe our MVOIP implementation based on the ITU-T H.323 protocol stack, present experimental results on call hand-off latency, and discuss various implementation issues, including the task of quickly and acc...
