  • Performance Analysis on Voip for Kolej Kediaman 2 & 3
    PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS ON VOIP FOR KOLEJ KEDIAMAN 2 & 3, UNIVERSITI MALAYSIA PAHANG DESMOND KO KHANG SlANG This thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Bachelor of Computer Science (Computer Systems & Networking) Faculty of Computer Systems & Software Engineering UNIVERSITI MALAYSIA PAHANG DECEMBER 2014 V ABSTRACT Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a useful technology that allows users able to make unlimited free call no matter is local or international call. With this technology, the voice can be transported through over data networks. Unfortunately, the voice data will cope with some traffic that can affect the quality of VoIP calls. In this research, the maximum number of concurrent VoIP users will be estimated based on three factors which are packet jitter, packet end to end delays and MOS value. Besides, with the likes of Internet application such as video streaming, downloading of video and audio, online gaming which can directly affected the performance of VoIP. Therefore, two types of simulation scenarios can be done. First scenario is a campus network with VoIP application only. While the second scenario is a campus network with applying VoIP application and some external traffics such as HTTP and video streaming. The result these two scenarios will simulate by using OPNET modeler 14.5. In the testing phase, the number of clients in each scenario increased gradually until the threshold value for packet jitter, packet end to end delays and MOS are unacceptable. After that, the result that obtained from the simulation experiment will be analyzed and recommend the number of VoIP users for each factor.

  • Voice Over IP in Mobile Networks
    Voice over IP in Mobile Networks Ludde Algell Department of Communication Systems Lund Institute of Technology 1 2 Executive Summary Title: Voice over IP in mobile networks. Author: Ludde Algell Tutor: Ulf Körner Objective: Voice over IP is rapidly transforming fixed line networks. The new technology slashes prices on telephony in an unprecedented manner. However it is not clear if Voice over IP will have the same effect on mobile telephony. The objective of this thesis is to determine if there are essential differences between fixed and wireless voice over IP and in which ways IP will affect mobile operators. Analysis: In order to determine how VoIP will affect mobile operators the following areas were investigated: • A background description of VoIP • The current market for fixed VoIP • Radio access technologies and VoIP • VoIP and new services in the mobile network Conclusions: Mobile operators are unlikely to, in the coming 3 years, experience the same type of competition from VoIP as fixed line operators are experiencing. The main reason is the bandwidth-limited radio interface that requires services, such as voice calls, to be highly optimized. At present VoIP is an inefficient way of delivering voice service. There will also be a lack of attractive VoIP handsets. Currently, VoIP calls made with VoIP applications are not substituting mobile calls. VoIP applications are mainly used for international calling. By offering subscribers the possibility to use VoIP applications over mobile broadband it should therefore be possible for a mobile operator to increase revenue, without cannibalizing on existing voice revenue. The threat from alternative access technologies like WiMAX and WiFi is not imminent for mobile operators’ voice revenue.
