QoS of Voice over 802.11 with NS simulator Presented by: SaiKamal Neeli Avinash Thota VoIP-Introduction VoIP-Voice over internet protocol. - Transfers voice using IP packets over the internet. How VoIP works- conversion of analog voice to digital signal bits using ADC. - Compression of the digital bits in to a proper format for easy transmission. Protocols like PCM etc are used. - Inserting VoIP packets into data packets. VoIP data packets are packed in real time transport protocol packets which are inside UDP-IP packets. -H323 is the signaling protocol used to call the users. - In the receiver the received packets are converted in to analog voice signals and then the signals are transferred in to the sound card. Network Simulator Network simulator can be a software or hardware which can be used for predicting the behavior of the network. Different versions of the network simulators are ns-1, ns-2, ns-3. Ns-3 is the latest version of the network simulator. Overview 802.11 - applies to wireless LANs and provides 1 or 2 Mbps transmission in the 2.4 GHz band using either frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) or direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS). 802.11a - an extension to 802.11 that provides theoretically up to 54 Mbps in the 5GHz band, but realistically achieves 20-25 Mbps under normal conditions. 802.11a uses an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing encoding scheme (OFDM) 802.11b (802.11 High Rate or Wi-Fi) - an extension to 802.11 that provides 11 Mbps transmission in the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11b uses only DSSS. Problem: No QoS Overview Both 802.11a and 802.11b have two channel accessing mechanisms: PCF - Point Coordination Function Based on polling technique – each station is polled in turn and stations with a packet pending for transmission sends the packet upon being polled. A dynamic list of stations may be maintained by the AP in order to increase efficiency. DCF - Distributed Coordination Function Based on CSMA/CA – stations contend for the channel. Two basic schemes are used: – Two way handshake: Acknowledgement is sent by the receiver to the sender upon successful reception of a packet. The acknowledgement is needed since the sender cannot determine whether its transmission was successful only by listening to it. – Four way handshake: RTS/CTS mechanism, and then proceed with ACKs as above. – An extension of 802.11 designed to improve its medium access mechanism and to add support for service differentiation. Uses the HCF – hybrid coordination function which is queue based service differentiation scheme that uses both DCF and PCF enhancements - EDCF and EPCF. 802.11e Goal Investigate QoS indications (for voice packets), 1. 2. 3. Average Throughput (per voice connection). Average Latency. Packet Loss percentage. Simulated Network Setting Connections Each wireless station has a different wire line station it “talks” to. There There are N + 4 connections: half from a wireless node to a wire line node and half the other way (the connections are in one-direction) are N voice connections. The parameters we investigate are taken only from these connections Average Throughput as function of VOIP Calls 9000 8000 7000 Average Throughput 6000 5000 4000 3000 2000 1000 0 0 5 10 15 20 25 Number of voice connections ----- 802.11e ----- 802.11b Throughput is the average rate of successful message delivery over a communication channel. Average Latency as function of VOIP Calls 2 Average cbr Latency 1.5 ----- 802.11e ----- 802.11b 1 0.5 0 0 5 10 15 20 25 Number of voice connections Latency: It is the time between the moment a voice packet is transmitted and the moment it reaches its destination •It slows down your phone conversations •Untimeliness can results in overlapping noises, with one speaker interrupting the other •Causes echo. •Disturbs synchronization between voice and other data types, especially during video conferencing Percentage of dropped packets as function of VOIP Calls 70 Percentage of cbr packets that were dropped 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 0 5 10 15 Number of voice connections ----- 802.11e ----- 802.11b 20 25 Conclusions When the number of voice connection becomes large, the performance of 802.11b and 802.11e is very much alike. QoS is not guaranteed by 802.11 standards because of the poor performance. 802.11e is the only standard offering QoS to those applications which are time sensitive like video and audio communications.
