AN EFFICIENT CROSS-LAYER AWARE MAPPING OF VOIP CALLS IN WIRELESS OFDMA SYSTEMS Part I. Problem description and channel tracking
Purpose: This work addresses the problem of efficient broadcasting of resource allocations descriptors for VoIP traffic in
mobile OFDMA-based wireless systems. Methods: We present the problem of mapping overhead and show that it can be substantially
reduced by using semi-persistent allocations and by taking advantage of the periodicity of VoIP frames, generated by
a multi-phase vocoder. To handle the impact of mobility on the characteristics of the wireless channel we utilize a cross-layer
decision approach that tracks the channel quality and predicts the expected mobile user behavior such that the system may
under-react to channel changes in some cases. Results: We explicitly show how the variability of the wireless channel can be
tracked by using a Markovian model with a set of discrete states. By estimating both state- and transition probabilities of the
multi-state Markovian model, we underline the foundations for a cross-layer decision algorithm that is able to overlook short
transitions in channel states, without changing the modulation and/or the coding schemes. The main advantage of this approach
is the ability to support multiple codecs, or a single codec with different operational modes, both result in different
packet sizes and different periods. Practical relevance: The proposed channel tracking mechanism is simple enough to be
implemented in the base station of any practical OFDMA-based system using the WiMAX or LTE technology

Technology, 3.5G and 4G Technologies . <...> This suggests that with
a naive resource allocation scheme the uplink map
(UL-MAP) includes allocation descriptors (or information
elements — IEs) for VoIP streams, thus generating
overheads at a constant rate. <...> This suggests that the total amount of
overhead for each VoIP call is usually very large. <...> The problem of system overhead for CBR-like
applications has been examined for the emerging
beyond 3G technologies such as WiMAX (IEEE
802.16) [1], IEEE 802.16m-2011 [2], 3GPP long-term
evolution (LTE) [3] and 3GPP2 ultra mobile broadband
