Call services
DUPLEX CALL = (Normal call)
Both parties can speak and listen at the same time
<SIMPLEX = Streaming> call
("Walkie Talkie like" call)
one party can speak at the time. There can be several
listeners

Why have simplex calls 1
1.No quality of service in internet
•
Streaming
call is send only one direction. Receiver
cannot speak at the same time as speaker is speaking. =>
Receiver can use bigger jitter buffer to buffer packet
sending speed variation than used in normal VOIP
applications.
2. New way to communicate
•
Message to one receiver (or many receivers) at the time.
From previous same kind applications average duration of
one simplex call is 7 seconds. This causes special needs
to be able to start call fast, setup should take 0,5 – 1 s.

New problems in simplex call handling
Problems in simplex call system handling:
(These problems define the role for ”server system” when
simplex call mode is used
1.
Simplex call
("Walkie Talkie like" call)
Two calls starting at the same time
Call 1
Which call should be played?
How to minimize traffic , especially
air traffic to phone?
Call 2
2.
Terminal user is sending one call
when new call is starting
Call 2 starting

Call 1 outgoing
Should outgoing call be ended?
Should starting call be dropped?
New problems in simplex call handling
3. How to keep a record who are using the service?
4. How to specify which calls you want to listen?
5. How to specify rights for calls ? Who can speak?
All terminals are trying to start same simplex call
who can speak ?
6. Usability. How to use service so that it is easy and simple to use?

Functions of RTP
• RTP Real Time Protocol
• RTP is protocol, which provides timing information to packets.
• RTP protocol does not include jitter (= time buffering for
variation of packet arrival times) buffering function, but jitter
buffering can be made according to information in RTP
headers. Jitter buffering is own application.
• Normally used to add time information to packets from sender
to receiver. Also used to specify realtime connection and codec
(audio / video) which has created the sent data.

Streaming special needs for signalling
Problem in point to multipoint call. call should start ride away
we don’t have
Normally SIP or H.323 is used for VOIP call signalling.
Call start with SIP

ACK

Now we are not interested to get
acknowledge from every called party in
point to multipoint call.
Sip is not appropriate signalling protocol becau
according to protocol we must get
acknowledgement from receiver.
However SIP is very easy to adjust the needs f
signaling. Sip can be used as signaling protoco
many different applications.
Acknowledgement in point to multipoint calls would introduce unnecessary delays w
ack message is waited. Acknowledged setup messages

How to speed up setup time ?
Usage of acknowledgement in point to multipoint calls setup messages
would introduce unnecessary delays when ack message is waited.
On the other hand if we receive some acks but not all should we wait for
all acks to arrive or should the call be started right away?
question is : how to set limits when point to multipoint call can be started?
Better solution for setup messages is to define a time after call is started.
No acknowledgements etc. is send.
Normally in VOIP calls in call setup phase also the codec is chosen. If we
could agree on
all issues that are not directly depending on call setup, (used codec,
receiver(s))
so that actual setup message contains only relevant information.
SIP or H.323 cannot be used for this kind of signaling. New signaling
protocol is needed: One solution is to transfer signaling information

on top of RTP.

SIP usage
• SIP (Session Initialization protocol) contains ready made
signaling messages without payload. Payload can be add with
SDP Session Description Protocol. Only the format of payload
is defined, not sent data.
• The role of SIP is a bit different than in normal VOIP solutions
• SIP is used for:
• sending log on /log off messages to service (SIP :
REGISTER)
• defining which calls are received
• defining in point to multipoint calls who are callees

Pros and cons in rtp usage in signalling
Positive
RTP is well specsed, ready designed
interface
Negative
Originally planned for real time data
transfer
Works on top of UDP => no connection
RTP is used in almost all VOIP solutions.
oriented benefits. No automatic packet
loss detection or resend
Easier to use ready standardized protocol
than try to standardize a completely new
protocol.
RTP header needs only new payload type
for signaling

• CC CSRC count. Number of CRSC identifiers that follow fixed header
• M
Marker bit. The interpretation of the marker is defined by a profile. It is intented to
allow significant events such as frame boundaries to be marked in the packet stream
• PT Payload type. Identifies the format of the RTP payload and determines its
interoperability by the application. A profile spacifies a default static mapping of
payload type codes to payload formats. Additional payload type codes may be defined
dynamically through non-RTP means

Reflects the sampling instant of the first octet in the RTP data packet. The
sampling instant must be derived from a clock that increments monotonically
and linearly in time to allow synchronization and jitter calculations.

RTP header usage in signaling
• RTP header can be used for signaling purposes by defining a
payload type for signaling. This way application knows that
message contains signaling.
• All the other fields can remain the same.
• Application must build retransmit and confirmation mechanism
in message charts.
• RTP signaling is used only for setup and termination
messages.

General requiremnets for client
Work share between client and server:
(see slides 6-7 for serverside general problems of simplex calls)
1. Client proposes new calls server decides can client start a call
2. Server looks that client receives only one call at the time
3. Client takes care of voice handling. Server only forwards voice
packets to clients.
My implementation (as a part of master thesis work):
Client working on linux in laptop, connected with Wlan
and IPv6 to internet.
Must have support for RTP signaling, SIP signaling and graphical user
interface.
