Abstract

Performance evaluation and analysis of different VoIP over WLAN mobility schemes is essential in order to meet adequate QoS levels in VoWLAN deployments. This paper presents a study of real time voice communication QoS in terms of delay, jitter, throughput and packet loss between three different Wireless Mesh Network mobility schemes in a crowded 802.11 environment. We also discuss the feasibility of implementing Wireless Mesh Networks for VoIP in the presence of other 802.11 data-only networks. Other researches can also use our QoS measurements as guidelines for other mobility schemes performance tests.
