Performance Investigation of VoIP Over Mobile WiMAX Networks through OPNET Simulation

Abstract

Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is regarded as a promising technology that can provide wireless communication because of its advantages which include, high-speed data rates, high coverage and low cost of development and maintenance. WiMAX also supports the performance of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), which is expected to replace conventional circuit switched voice services. VoIP requires to accurately design of QoS configurations over WiMAX networks. This paper focuses on studying and analyzing the performance of VoIP over WiMAX mobile networks. WiMAX network and VoIP technology such as mobility, WiMAX service classes, number of nodes and VoIP codecs are studied and analyzed. WiMAX network is simulated in a different manner using the simulation program known as OPNET Modeler. Simulation results established that the service layer Unsolicited Grand Service (UGS) is more appropriate for VoIP service because it has the best standard and performance. It was also observed that the least delay and highest value of customer satisfaction rate of services is demonstrated by the G.723.1 best coding. It also maintains the minimum consumption of capacity.
