Performance Evaluation of a Packetized Voice System--Simulation Study

Abstract

Introduction of the packet switching technique into digitized voice communication may afford great advantages in efficient use of the channel, compared to both circuit-switched and DSI systems. Detailed characteristics, however, have not been obtained because of difficulty in the exact analysis. Hence, simalation models are developed in this paper for the packetized voice transmission system, and various characteristics such as tranmission delays and loss probability of voice packets are obtained. We further evaluate three types of voice packet reassembly strategy at the receiving terminal, and obtain the optimal packet length, which keeps both overall packet transmission delay and packet loss probabilty less than a certain permissible value. Comparison among three strategies is also stated.
