Performance and Capacity of Cellular OFDMA Systems With Voice-Over-IP Traffic

We propose a methodology to evaluate the voice-over-IP (VoIP) capacity and performance of orthogonal frequency-division multiple-access (OFDMA)-based systems. The approach combines the queuing and interference analyses to find the delay and power outage. Using this analytical framework, we provide insight into tradeoffs among capacity-limiting factors, including channel dimensions, power, interference threshold and latency, and we identify techniques for capacity optimization. The numerical demonstrations are carried out on the newly standardized ultra mobile broadband (UMB) system. The same methodology can also be applied to Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Long Term Evolution (LTE) and wireless mobile Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) systems.
