analysis and measurement of session setup delay and jitter in vowlan using composite metrics
In this paper we look at the signaling for session mobility using the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and the Session Description Protocol (SDP). Bearing in mind that perceived voice quality is sensitive mostly to delay variation (also called jitter), we work on bounding that value for providing a better voice Quality of Service over Wireless LAN (WLAN). For mobility we use a hybrid SIP-MIP stack. The basic idea is to combine the strengths of MIP for doing fast handovers and the strengths of SIP for powerful session adaptation capabilities. Numerical calculation figures as well as real implementation results are provided. It can be observed that the session update cycle during mobility can be modified in such a way that session delay variation bounds achieved are quite low and there are almost no spikes. We use composite performance metrics that we defined in previous work to analyze the correlation between the data patterns for session signaling delay in the classical case and our proposed case to better highlight the achieved performance delta.
