Abstract

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is one of the fastest growing applications for the Internet today and is a very important service because mobile users can utilize voice services more cheaply compared with most mobile systems. A crucial application over these networks is VoIP over the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), which is one of the technologies in Broadband Access Networks based on IEEE 802.16 standards. It provides high throughput broadband connections over long distances, which supports Point to Multi-Point (PMP) wireless access. A hurdle, however, is the number of voice connections that can be supported. Since VoIP requires short end-to-end delays, supporting as many VoIP users as possible in a mobile broadband wireless access network, considering limited radio resources, becomes a very important issue. In this chapter, the authors use a theoretical model and an algorithm to evaluate the performance of some of the most important VoIP codecs.
