Avaliação de desempenho de algoritmos de compressão de cabeçalho cooperativos para aplicações VoIP em redes sem fio

Abstract

The current wireless networks development scenario indicates that mobile VoIP applications are increasing their appeal among consumers, which creates an increasing demand for bandwidth consuption. However, bandwidth availability for VoIP applications is restricted by phisical and regulatory means. Header compression algorithms are one of the most used bandwidth optimization techniques for VoIP applications in wireless networks. This dissertation presents a performance evaluation of cooperative header compression algoritms for VoIP applications in wireless networks. The results indicate that the use of the single-channel cooperative approach leads to excelent results in terms of bandwidth optimization alied with robust context update. Also, the results indicate that the multi-channel cooperative approach has serious issues regarding parallel asyncrhonous VoIP connections.
