Abstract - Voice over internet protocol (VoIP) is one of the
fastest growing internet application. This paper focuses on the
support of VoIP over 802.11x WLAN. A multiplexing scheme for
VoIP is provided which exploits multicasting over WLAN for the
downlink VoIP traffic. The 802.11x WLAN can support more
than 500 VoIP sessions, but due do the inclusion of large number
of over headers this ratio comes to only few VoIP sessions by
using GSM 6.10 codec standard. This paper shows the VoIP
standard 802.11g is the best by comparing the three standards
802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g as well for both CBR and VBR
voice sources. This has been discussed by using the features of
multicast mode of WLAN by which the large overhead effects of
VoIP can be reduced. This paper shows this Simulation and
calculations, based on Multiplex-Multicast Scheme through
which the number of VoIP sessions can be increased and
determine the best VoIP standard for CBR and VBR Sources.
I. INTRODUCTION
Voice - over IP (VoIP) is an important application now a
days. It has two fundamental benefits compared with voice
over traditional telephone networks. First, by exploiting
advanced voice compression techniques and bandwidth
sharing in packet-switched networks, VoIP can dramatically
improve bandwidth efficiency. Second, it facilitates the
creation of new services that combine voice communication
with other media and data applications like video, white
boarding and file sharing. At the same time, driven by huge
demands for portable access, the wireless LAN (WLAN)
market is taking off quickly.
III. DISCUSSION
A. Capacity Analysis
A. VoIP Attributes
For VoIP, the analog or PCM voice signals are encoded and
compressed into a low-rate packet stream by codecs.
Generally, the codecs generate constant bit-rate audio frames
consisting of 40-byte IP/UDP/RTP headers followed by a
relatively small payload. This paper focuses on the GSM 6.10
codec, although this general principle is applicable to other
codecs as well. For GSM 6.10, payload is 33 bytes; the time
between two adjacent frames is 20ms, corresponding to a rate
of 50 packets per second per VoIP stream.

E. VBR Scheme
The calculations on the VoIP capacities of all the three
standards by using both the Ordinary VoIP Scheme and the
VoIP Multiplex-Multicast Scheme for the VBR voice sources
resulted in the number of sessions which are listed in the Table
2 [2].

CONCLUSIONS
The paper focuses on the support of Ordinary & MultiplexMulticast scheme for VoIP over 802.11x WLAN. It compares the
three standards 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g for both CBR and
VBR voice sources. Using the features of multicast mode simulation
and calculations, is concluded that VBR sources is the best for VoIP
standards.
