Voice over WLAN (VoWLAN) - A Wireless Voice Alternative?

Overview Voice over WLAN (VoWLAN) is a natural evolution of VoIP. It is also a potential supplement or a potential competitor to 3G mobile systems. This paper presents an overview of WLAN technologies and the issues that are relevant for voice communication over WLAN. The basic IEEE 802.11 mechanisms are described, as well as new security and QoS mechanisms recently being standardised by IEEE. Handover issues are addressed. A review of available papers on real-time communication over WLAN highlights the challenges to VoWLAN. There is also a short discussion on 3G-VoWLAN interworking. Finally user equipment aspects and the market potentials are discussed.
