Can I add a VoIP call?
Abstract
In this paper, we study the inherent limitations of the 802.11 (a/b) distributed coordination function (DCF) in supporting VoIP calls over a wireless LAN. Specifically, we evaluate the upper bound on the number of simultaneous VoIP calls that can be placed in a single cell of an 802.11 (a/b) network. Making one additional VoIP call in that cell would degrade the quality of all VoIP call. The upper bound is calculated as a function of the choice of VoIP codec and the length of the audio payload. As an example, when a G711 codec with 20 millisecond audio payload is used, an 802.11b cell can support only 3 to 12 simultaneous VoIP calls. The actual number depends on the effective transmission rate of the wireless station, which for 802.11b can be 1 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps and 11 Mbps. We also study the effect of spatial distribution of the wireless stations on the upper bound which is the dominant factor in determining the effective transmission rate of a station.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
