A Survey on Enhancing the QoS through voice Quality for Voice over Wireless LANs (VoWLAN)

Abstract

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is one of the important technologies that allow voice transmission over the IP network. Various voice codec are available for VoIP as this is a rapidly changing technology. It can be an effective renewal for the traditional telephone systems (PSTN) because of extreme utilization of its sources as well as to provide very low cost. Apart from, Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) has become apparent as a durable networking technology. Hence, the combination of these two popular technologies is growing so fast all over the world. Voice over WLAN will be a tool to provide low-cost and reliable voice services on wireless media. However just like other wireless applications, VoWLAN has also faced few challenges that need to be considered. Quality of Service (QoS) is one of the primary requirements in different kind of wireless applications. In this survey some of the important QoS requirement (latency, delay, jitter etc) have been analyzed, and it also has the introspection of the E- model and MOS (Mean Opinion Score) value for voice quality while using of different ITU-T codec. Therefore it makes Voice over WLAN a challenging research topic. In this study we will address all VoWLAN issues.
