(A short version of this paper appears in IEEE INFOCOM 2009: http://www.research.ibm.com/people/i/iyengar/INFOCOM2009-kanon.pdf.) Peer-to-peer VoIP (voice over IP) networks, exemplified by Skype, are becoming increasingly popular due to their significant cost advantage and richer call forwarding features than traditional public switched telephone networks. One of the most important features of a VoIP...
In this paper, we propose a network performance monitoring method which can measure delay of each network using the RTCP(Real-time Transport Control Protocol) timestamp fields to detect a trouble section in interworking environment. According to the increment of real-time multimedia service provision, network performance monitoring method is necessarily needed for QoS management of real-time services...
Today's Internet uses the IP protocol suite that was primarily designed for the transport of data and provides best-effort data delivery. Thus, it does not guarantee the quality of voice transmission that is highly sensitive to error and delay. The situation is even more severe in wireless networks which experience even more distortion and attenuation. Therefore, enhancing the voice traffic quality...
With the rapid development of the Internet, new technologies and applications are emerging. One of the important applications is voice over IP. Satellites are playing an important role to provide VoIP services with their global coverage and on-board processing ability over IP networks. Satellite network environment, generally characterized by large delay and erroneous link, is considered to be unfriendly...
VoIP applications are being widely used in today's networks challenging their capabilities to provide a good quality of experience level to the users. In particular, new wireless broadband technologies, such as WiMAX, are being deployed and need to be evaluated to check the performance levels of VoIP services. The work presented in this paper is a unique contribution assessing the VoIP sessions quality...
The present work proposes an adaptive solution to provide quality of service in Voice over IP communications. This solution is based on three components that interact inorder to achieve higher quality in voice communication. The first two consist in changing the codec and the transport protocol in real-time during a conversation; the third consists in using a forward error correction mechanism to...
Multimedia applications have been the key driving force in converging fixed, mobile and IP networks. A major hurdle in the realisation of this convergence is obtaining Quality of Service from a heterogeneous, best-effort service network. Interactive voice requires strict bounds on delay, jitter and packet losses, video adds significant bandwidth requirements to the network, while Internet only makes...
Wireless networks and multimedia applications are two rapidly emerging technological trends. The IEEE 802.11e protocol has been developed to support QoS for such delay-sensitive applications in wireless networks. This protocol has also been extensively studied in the literature over the past few years, and several mechanisms to improve its performance have been proposed concentrating on ways to reinforce...
Recent rapid developments of high-speed wireless access technologies enable us to use real-time multimedia services as well as legacy non-real-time services via wireless access systems. These multimedia services require QoS (Quality of Service), such as low PLR (Packet Loss Rate) and short delay time. To provide QoS guarantee in wireless LAN (Local Area Network) environment, this paper proposes a...
We discuss in this paper basic requirements of an RCST gateway supporting VoIP traffic without strict QoS provisioning. Besides easing the system design, a QoS management not based on reservation is suitable to accomplish changes in traffic scenarios and to support new applications. The main elements of this architecture are illustrated throughout the paper following a layered structure. A preliminary...
Nowadays, it is very important to study the behavior of the wireless networks due to the variety of applications that make use of this technology. These applications frequently require a minimum QoS in order to work properly and guarantee a good service to the user. This paper aims to find a relationship between signal to noise ratio (SNR) and a 802.11g networkpsilas QoS in terms of latency, packet...
