Growing demands for the public wireless broadband services will require more capacity than the one provided by IP-based service
providers (ISPs). The increasing popularity of WLANs due to the use of license-free radio spectrum with low-cost, easily deployable,
high-data-rate wireless services, has encouraged service providers to consider their depl...

In this paper a Call Admission Control (CAC) scheme for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) over a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is proposed. The CAC scheme is based on the Endpoint Admission Control (EAC) paradigm where the endpoints, i.e. the WLAN terminals, probe the network to ascertain if the call can be supported with acceptable Quality...
In spite of the significant increase of the use of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) experienced in the last years, design aspects and capacity planning of the network are still systematically neglected during the network implementation. For instance, to determine the location of the access point (AP), important factors of the environment are not...
We formulate an analytical model for capacity evaluation of an infrastructure IEEE 802.11 based network carrying full-duplex packet telephone calls when different types of codecs are used for voice calls. The analysis of the model utilizes the attempt rate results from a well known fixed-point based saturation analysis. The performance estimates ob...
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has been widely used by many mobile consumer devices in IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networks (WLAN) due to its low cost and convenience. However, delays of all VoIP flows dramatically increase when network capacity is approached. Additionally, unfair traffic distribution between downlink and uplink flows in W...
Two Admission Control schemes are investigated for wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) in the context of the 802.11 standards. Every node handles the admission rules locally and the system can operate in ad hoc mode. Speciically, two possible admission mechanisms are compared. The terminals operate in admission state when accessing the channel for...

In this paper, we propose a QoS control mechanism that estimates the congestion of wireless channels in the wireless LAN and evaluates the voice packet drop ratio based on the estimated congestion status. The mechanism adjusts the voice packet transmission rate according to the evaluated packet loss ratio, and thereby resolves the congestion situation. In this way, the mechanism can keep users' quality of experience levels within acceptable ranges.
Voice over Wireless LAN (VoWLAN) is becoming more and more helpful in our life and is expected to be among the most important applications in next generation networks. However, the maximum number of VoIP sessions that a WLAN can ensure is very small. Moreover, when the WLAN reaches its capacity the addition of one VoIP session affects the QoS parameters of all VoIP sessions. In this paper, we propose an adaptive technique to ensure the active VoIP sessions of users with high priority (from a provider perspective). Thus, in order to guarantee the quality of high priority sessions, we propose to downgrade the quality (low but acceptable MOS) of user sessions with low priority by changing their used codecs (e.g., ITU G729 instead of ITU G711). This technique and all related monitoring functions are defined into the proposed session-based QoS management architecture. In order to validate our approach a complete test-bed is made up by which we have performed some feasibility and gain tests.
The increasing popularity of WLANs-due to the use of license-free radio spectrum with low-cost, easily deployable and high-data-rate wireless services- has encouraged service providers to consider deploying them in high density usage areas, such as public hotspots, to provide complementary broadband access to their networks and services. This article proposes a Session Initiation Protocol based QoS management architecture that aims to provide consistent QoS control for multimedia applications (VoIP, VoD, ...) over wireless access networks. In particular, we will present a generic QoS based management architecture for decentralized management of multimedia applications over wireless access networks, such as WLAN. We will apply our architecture to the management of the WLAN in order to assure QoS (throughput and delay) for the delivered multimedia applications according to users' priorities and providers' objectives. Performance evaluations are discussed to illustrate the feasibility and the efficiency of the proposed architecture through the implementation of a real-world testbed.
