An Efficient Voice Priority Queue (VPQ) Schedular Architectures and Algorithm for VoIP over WLAN Networks

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) over Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) might be a leading application in collaboration with 3rd Generation (3G) mobile network. VoIP is moving on WLAN based on IEEE 802.11 standards. For audio speech quality in packet switch applications, the main concerns are end-to-end delay and packet loss. Currently,
many of packet scheduling algorithms like Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), was mainly designed to provide the bandwidth reservation. Low Latency Queuing (LLQ) addresses this
problem but undergo from low priority traffic starvation problem. The Strict Priority (SP) is low-cost to maintain the delay sensitive voice traffic. Also, a number of research scheduling solution have been proposed like General processor sharing (GPS), Deficit Round Robin(DDR), Low Latency Efficient Packet Scheduling (LLEPS), Efficient Scheduler (ES) for the IP-based network. Unfortunately, they have some drawbacks for real time application. The objective of this research, to propose a novel Voice Priority Queue (VPQ) packet scheduling algorithm to ensure more throughput, low latency and efficient packet scheduling for VoIP performance of queues and traffics. Experimental topology using on NS-2 network simulator were analysed for voice traffic. Preliminary results show that this can achieve maximum and more accurate VoIP quality.
