description

This paper studies how the performance of Voice over IP (VoIP) over High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HS-DPA) networks is affected if transmission to a User Equipment (UE) is stopped for specific amount of time during handover procedure. This paper also addresses the situation when it might be necessary to limit the number of UEs in a cell. The study showed that parameter settings for Radio Resource Management (RRM) algorithms can have an effect to the VoIP capacity: If handover lasts long enough for VoIP packets to be lost, or severe congestion occurs in a cell, VoIP capacity may be degraded.
