Abstract

In this paper, we evaluate the capacity of voice over internet protocol (VoIP) services over high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA), in which frame-bundling (FB) is incorporated to reduce the effect of relatively large headers in the IP/UDP/RTP layers. Also, a modified proportional pair (PF) packet scheduler design supporting for VoIP service is provided. The main focus of this work is the effect of FB on system outage based on delay budget in radio access networks. Simulation results show that VoIP system performance with FB scheme is highly sensitive to delay budget. We also conclude that HSDPA is attractive for transmission of VoIP if compared to the circuit switched (CS) voice that is used in WCDMA (Release'99).

본 논문에서는 고속 하향 패킷 접속 (high-speed downlink packet access: HSDPA) 시스템에서 상대적으로 큰 IP / UDP / RTP 계층의 오버헤더 (over-header) 효과를 줄일 수 있는 frame-bundling (FB) 기술을 채용한 IP기반 음성 (voice over internet protocol: VoIP) 서비스의 용량을 평가한다. 또한, VoIP 서비스를 제공하기 위한 수정된 비례 평등 (proportional fair: PF) scheduler를 소개한다. 본 연구의 주요한 관점은 FB가 무선 접속 시스템에서 허용 지연 기반의 시스템 outage에 미치는 영향을 관찰하는 것이다. 시스템 레벨 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과로 부터 FB를 채용한 VoIP 서비스의 성능이 시스템의 허용 지연에 매우 민감함을 보인다. 또한, WCDMA (release'99)에 의해 사용되는 회선 교환 (circuit switching: CS) 방식의 음성서비스와 비교할 때 HSDPA에서 VoIP 서비스를 제공하는 것이 매우 효율적임을 보인다.
