  1. A Framework for Adaptive Voice Communications Over Wireless Channels Sandeep K. S. Gupta and Suhaib A. Obeidat

  2. Outline • Problem Statement • Motivation and approach • Results and discussion • Conclusions

  3. Motivation • Voice is the most natural way for human comm. • Taking advantage of silence periods. • Varying error channel conditions of a wireless link • Solution: • Changing the modulation scheme. • Changing the voice coding rate.

  4. Motivation-Cont SNR vs. BER for several modulation schemes [4].

  5. Motivation-Cont • Good Channel Condition: compressed voice at a rate of 16 kbps, denser modulation (QAM16). • Bad Channel Condition: uncompressed voice (64 kbps), and BPSK.

  6. Motivation-Cont NS That can be accommodated when using adaptive modulation Link capacity: 256ksymbol

  7. Motivation-Cont NS That can be accommodated when using adaptive encoding Link capacity: 256kbps

  8. Goal Measuring the performance of adaptive voice over a wireless connection and proposing a methodology of adaptation.

  9. QoS requirements of voice • Delay • Propagation delay (negligible) • Queuing delay • Losses • Channel Losses • Buffer Losses

  10. Current Work • Shenker compared strict versus adaptive applications. • Rate-adaptive reacts better to network congestion than other classes of adaptation (e.g., delay-adaptive) • Meo studied rate-adaptive voice comm. over IP networks • Supporting more voice communications. • Adaptive modulation: reacting to channel conditions by changing the modulation scheme and the symbol rate • Motivated newer wireless devices to support different modulation schemes.

  13. Brady 2-state Markov Model On-off times for silence and speech Exponential dist. for speech and silence states. Speech activity 35.1% 352 ms on, 650 ms off Voice Traffic Model

  14. Elliot-Gilbert Model Represents a Good (G) and Bad (B) states. G: 16 kbps, QAM16 B: 64 kbps, BPSK Pe(G) = 10-6 Pe(B) = 10-2 4s in B, 10s in G. Wireless Channel Model

  16. Loss Components for Adaptive vs. Non-adaptive Modulation Buffer Loss Ratio = Channel Loss Ratio =

  17. Packet Loss Ratio for Adaptive vs. Non-adaptive Encoding Packet Loss Ratio =

  19. Ratio of Packets Delayed (80-ms Threshold) for Adaptive vs. Non-adaptive Modulation Delayed Packets Ratio =

  20. DVQ for Adaptive vs. Non-adaptive Modulation + Encoding Degradation of Voice Quality =

  21. Future Work-Analytic Model • More generic • Get more confidence. • Can be used to quantify error control effect • Can be used in any analysis involving Rayleigh channel and/or adaptive modulation.

  22. Adaptive voice allows for greater flexibility and more savings Can support more voice communications. Trading quality for monetary Conclusions
