Abstract
There are several scheduling algorithms for Voice over IP (VoIP) services in IEEE 802.16 systems, such as unsolicited grant service (UGS), real-time polling service (rtPS), UGS with Activity Detection (UGS-AD), and Lee's algorithm using Grant-Me bit of the generic MAC header. However, these algorithms have some problems of a waste of uplink resources, additional access delay, and MAC overhead for supporting VoIP services with variable data rates and silence suppression. To solve these problems, we propose a novel uplink scheduling algorithm (Extended-rtPS) for the VoIP services in IEEE 802.16 systems. Through the performance analysis and simulation results of resource utilization, VoIP capacity, total throughput, and packet transmission delay, we show that our proposed algorithm can solve the problems of the conventional algorithms, and has the best performance among these algorithms. In addition, with simulation results of packet transmission delay, we prove that our proposed algorithm can support more 74%, 24%, and 9% voice users compared with the UGS, rtPS, and UGS-AD (Lee's) algorithms, respectively.
