karmano hy api boddhavyam boddhavyam ca vikarmanah akarmanas ca boddhavyam gahana karmano gatih The intricacies of action are very hard to understand. Therefore one should know properly what action is, what forbidden action is, and what inaction is. The Bhagvad Gita (4.17) This book is the outcome of the research contribution of Hanane Fathi towards her Ph.D. studies jointly with Shyam S. Chakraborty and Ramjee Prasad as - pervisors. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is a ?rst book on voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) covering such a broad perspective as illustrated in Figure P.1. This book is a new, forward-looking resource that explores the present and future trends of VoIP in the wireless heterogeneous networks. This book also provides the discovery path that these network infrastructures are following from a perspective of synergies with the present systems and how they will pave the way for future systems. This book is intended for everyone in the ?eld of wireless information and multimedia communications. It provides different levels of material suitable for managers, researchers, network providers, and graduate students. We hope that all readers will experience the bene?ts and power of this knowledge. We have tried our best to make each chapter comprehensive and we cannot claim that this book is without errors. Any remarks to improve the text and correct the errors would be highly appreciated.

The focus of this book is on mechanisms that affect the VoIP user satisfaction while not explicitly involved in the media session. The book thus investigates and proposes cross-layer techniques for realizing time-efficient control mechanisms for VoIP.

The convergence of different types of traffic has preceded the convergence of systems and services in a wireless heterogeneous network. Voice and data traffic are usually treated separately in both 2G and 2.5G wireless networks. With advances in packet switching technology and especially with the deployment of wireless heterogeneous systems, both speech and data traffic are carried over wireless links by the same IP-based packet-switched infrastructure. However, this combination faces some challenges due to the inherent properties of the wireless network. The requirements for good quality VoIP communications are difficult to achieve in a time-varying environment due to channel errors and traffic congestion and across different systems. The provision of VoIP in wireless heterogeneous networks requires a set of time-efficient control mechanisms to support a VoIP session with acceptable quality. The focus of Voice over IP in Wireless Heterogeneous Networks is on mechanisms that affect the VoIP user satisfaction while not explicitly involved in the media session. This relates to the extra delays introduced by the security and the signaling protocols used to set up an authorized VoIP session and to the disruption caused by the user mobility during the session. Voice over IP in Wireless Heterogeneous Networks thus investigates and proposes cross-layer techniques for realizing time-efficient control mechanisms for VoIP: signaling, mobility and security.
