Description
Summary:VoIP offers cheap voice communication which instigated its quick market growth. IEEE 802.11 WLANs offer cheap wireless coverage which can be used to provide VoIP service in mobile devices. But call capacity of such networks is very low compared to wired networks. To increase voice capacity in WLANs incorporation of power capture, increased data rate, and use of multiple channels are of great importance. Moreover, these networks should be carefully designed considering voice quality requirements to avoid call jitter and call drops. We propose an analytical model to estimate VoIP call capacity for multichannel WLANs with consideration for power capture, imperfect channel, and multiple network interfaces. We employed ITU-T E-model to assess voice quality which is used as the limiting factor to ensure that voice quality does not degrade in such networks. The model will be extremely helpful to network designers in planning single channel or multi-channel WLANs.
