Abstract

The voice communications with wireless backbone based networks are evolving into a packet switching VoIP systems. In those networks, a call processing scheme is required for management of subscribers and connection between them. A VoIP service scheme for those systems requires reliable subscriber management and connection establishment schemes, but the conventional call processing schemes based on the centralized server has lack of reliability. Thus, the mutual-backup architecture of SIP-servers is required to ensure efficient subscriber management and reliable VoIP call processing capability, and the synchronization and call processing schemes should be changed as the architecture is changed. In this paper, a mutual-backup architecture of SIP-servers is proposed for wireless backbone based networks. A message format for synchronization and information exchange between SIP servers is also proposed in the paper. This paper also proposes a FSM scheme for the fast call processing in unreliable networks to detect multiple servers at a time. The performance analysis results show that the mutual backup server architecture increases the call processing success rates than conventional centralized server architecture. Also, the FSM scheme provides the smaller call processing times than conventional SIP, and the time is not increased although the number of SIP servers in the networks is increased.

무선 백본 기반 통신망에서의 음성 통신은 패킷교환기반의 VoIP(Voice over Internet Protocol) 시스템으로 변화하고 있다. 패킷교환기반 VoIP 시스템에서는 가입자 관리 및 연결 수립 지원을 위한 호 처리 방안이 필요하다. 그리고 신뢰성 있는 사용자 관리 및 호 처리를 위해 중앙집중식 호 처리 구조보다는 다수의 호 처리 서버 배치 구조가 필요하며, 구조 변화에 따라 다른 동기화 기법, 호 처리 기법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 무선 백본 기반 통신망을 위한 백업 서버 기반 상호 보완적 SIP(Session Initiation Protocol) 서버 배치 구조를 제안한다. 또한 SIP 서버 간 동기화 과정 및 정보 교환에 사용될 메시지 구조를 제안한다. 그리고 손실이 발생하는 네트워크 환경에서도 빠른 호 처리를 할 수 있도록 사용자가 동시에 다수의 SIP 서버를 탐지하기 위한 FSM(Flood Search Message) 방식을 제안한다. 수학적 성능 평가 과정으로 제안하는 서버 배치 구조 활용시 호 처리 성공률을 높여 신뢰성이 증가함을 확인하였다. 그리고 메시지 교환 기법을 사용할 경우 표준 SIP 기법에 비해 호처리 지연시간을 줄이며 백업 서버 수에 관계없이 일정 수준의 호 처리 지연시간이 나타남을 확인하였다.
