Modeling VoIP • How to model VoIP traffic • Modeling by distribution • Modeling by state diagram • Pros and Cons
Modeling by Distribution(1) • Modeling data traffic • The data size distribution of Internet traffic which uses the TCP (many smaller files, few larger ones) seen as approximately Pareto-distributed.
Modeling by Distribution(2) • Modeling data traffic • Choose appreciate environment
Modeling by Distribution(3) • Run Simulator • Analysis and diagnosis • Delay • Packet loss • Jitters
Modeling by State Diagram(1) • Modeling speech process
Modeling by State Diagram(2) • Modeling speech process
Pros and Cons • Inaccurate on modeling • Variant and complex • Simulator is different from real world • Unexpected problems on hardware • Low cost • We can implement solution after getting good simulation.

Critical VoIP Performance Challenges • Latency • Jitter • Packet Loss • Echo
Latency • Good: < 80ms Acceptable: 150~180ms (each way) • Must be addressed with VoIP protocols. Eg, SIP, H.323 • Commonly associated with network congestion and poor bandwidth management. Not in LAN but at LAN/WAN boundary.
Latency • Minimize delay/latency • Queuing techniques • Eq, DiffServ, 802.1p/q • Voice packet priority over other traffic • More stringent, intelligent bandwidth management/QoS • Guaranteed amount of bandwidth to each traffic type.
Jitter • Tolerance range: 20~30ms • Possible solutions • Jitter buffer • Temporarily store • Smooth out the delivery of voice packet • Router queue
Jitter • Prevent jitter • TCP rate control (for data traffic) • UDP rate control (for voice traffic) • Eq, Packeteer’s Application Traffic Management System • Policy-based bandwidth management or QoS strategy
Packet Loss • Loss rate < 1%: OK • Loss rate > 3%: conversation seems “breaking up” • IP: best effort • Serious packet loss may cause dropped calls or even system failure
Packet Loss • Prevent packet loss • Apply more control • IP: best effort predictable
Solution to Improve Quality • PLC (Packet Lost Concealment) Packet Lost • Dynamic Jitter Buffer Jitter • Bandwidth Reservation / Packet Priorities / Queuing Delay • G.168 Echo cancellation Echo • VAD (Voice Active Detection) Save Bandwidth

VoIP in Wireless LAN - outline • Introduction • VoIP Multiplex Multicast Scheme • Capacity Analysis • Conclusion
The Problems faced by WLAN • System CapacitySystem capacity for voice can be quite low • Other data trafficData from traditional App can interfere with each other
VoIP in 802.11b • VoIP in WLAN can potentially support more than 500 sessions in theory • In practice, only 12 are supported due to various overhead
VoIP in 802.11b • Support data rate up to 11Mb/s • A VoIP stream typically requires less than 10kb/s • The number of simultaneous VoIP streams that can be supported by an 802.11b in theory is around 11M/10K = 1100 • About 550 VoIP sessions
VoIP in 802.11b • In practice, no more than a few VoIP sessions • If GSM 6.10 codec is used, the maximum is 12 • The result is mainly due to added packet header overheads as well as the inefficiency inherent in the WLAN MAC
VoIP in 802.11b • IP + UDP + RTP header = 40bytes • VoIP payload ranging from 10 to 30 bytes • The transmission time:30 * 8 / 11 = 22 us40 * 8 / 11 = 29 us • Efficiency drops to less than 50%
VoIP in 802.11b • Physical layer have additional overhead more than 800 us • Attributed to the Physical preamble, MAC header, MAC backoff time, MAC ACK, Inter-transmission time • Overall efficiency drops to less than 3%
VoIP in 802.11b • TCP connection will cause unacceptably large increase in the delay and packet loss rate of VoIP traffic
VoIP in Wireless LAN - outline • Introduction • VoIP Multiplex Multicast Scheme • Capacity Analysis • Conclusion
Multiplex-Multicast Scheme • An 802.11 WLAN is referred to as the basic service set (BSS) in the standard specification • There are two types of BSSs: Independent BSS and Infrastructure BSS.
Multiplex-Multicast Scheme • Focus on infrastructure BSS • Assume that all voice streams are between stations in different BSS • Each AP has two interfaces, an 802.11 interface, and an Ethernet interface which is connected to the voice gateway.
Multiplex-Multicast Scheme • Within a BSS, there are two streams for each VoIP session. • M-M Scheme idea : Combine the data from several downlink streams into a single packet for multicast over the WLAN to their destinations
Multiplex-Multicast Scheme • The voice multiplexer resides in the voice gateway for H.323 • The MUX can also resides in a specially designed AP or a server between the voice gateway and AP
