A codec-based QoS control mechanism for voice over IEEE 802.11 WLAN

In this paper, we propose a QoS control mechanism that estimates the congestion of wireless channels in the wireless LAN and evaluates the voice packet drop ratio based on the estimated congestion status. The mechanism adjusts the voice packet transmission rate according to the evaluated packet loss ratio, and thereby resolves the congestion situation. In this way, the mechanism can keep users' quality of experience levels within acceptable ranges.
