It is offered as a basis for discussion and is not binding on the contributing individual(s) or organization(s). The material in this document is subject to change in form and content after further study. The contributor(s) reserve(s) the right to add, amend or withdraw material contained herein. Release: The contributor grants a free, irrevocable license to the IEEE to incorporate material contained in this contribution, and any modifications thereof, in the creation of an IEEE Standards publication; to copyright in the IEEE’s name any IEEE Standards publication even though it may include portions of this contribution; and at the IEEE’s sole discretion to permit others to reproduce in whole or in part the resulting IEEE Standards publication. The contributor also acknowledges and accepts that this contribution may be made public by IEEE 802. 11. Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures <http: // ieee 802. org/guides/bylaws/sb-bylaws. pdf>, including the statement "IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard. " Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chair <stuart. kerry@philips. com> as early as possible, in written or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard being developed within the IEEE 802. 11 Working Group. If you have questions, contact the IEEE Patent Committee Administrator at <patcom@ieee. org>. Submission 1 S. Bangolae, Intel

Sept 2005 doc. : IEEE 802. 11 -05/0 r 0 Abstract This presentation is to provide an outline of metrics for Latency-sensitive applications (typically Vo. IP over Wireless) such as One-way delay, Jitter, Packet loss, Vo. IP quality Submission 2 S. Bangolae, Intel

Sept 2005 doc. : IEEE 802. 11 -05/0 r 0 Summary • Introduction and Purpose • Metrics Submission 3 S. Bangolae, Intel

Sept 2005 doc. : IEEE 802. 11 -05/0 r 0 Introduction and Purpose • Latency-sensitive applications such as Vo. IP over WLAN need characterization • In addition to Vo. IP quality for user perception, secondary metrics such as latency, jitter, loss, and roaming time are important • STA based metrics • AP based metrics <TBD> Submission 4 S. Bangolae, Intel

Sept 2005 doc. : IEEE 802. 11 -05/0 r 0 Metrics and conditions • Primary Metric: Vo. IP Quality • Secondary Metrics: – One-way delay – Jitter – Packet loss • Bursty loss (measure consecutive packets lost more than 1 in consecutive manner) – very important to determine bursty medium – BSS transition time – Fast BSS transition time • Test Conditions: – Stationary STA – Roaming STA Submission 5 S. Bangolae, Intel

Sept 2005 doc. : IEEE 802. 11 -05/0 r 0 Metrics - Definitions • Latency or One Way Delay: – One Way delay is measured as the difference between the time a packet was sent to the time the packet was received at the endpoint; – Requires Synchronization of the endpoints – Measured in both directions • Jitter – Jitter is the delay variation (calculated using the delay measurement) – Measured in both directions • Packet Loss – Number of packets lost (Calculated by determining the total number of datagrams sent by the sender and those received by the DUT) • BSS/Fast BSS Transition time – Roaming times; Refer presentation documents 874 r 1 and 950 r 0 • Vo. IP Quality – A quality parameter such as R-factor (ITU G. 107, E-model) or PESQ (ITU P. 862) needs to be evaluated Submission 6 S. Bangolae, Intel

Sept 2005 doc. : IEEE 802. 11 -05/0 r 0 Test Variables – Modifiers • Qo. S or 802. 11 e • Security – Authentication method – Encryption method • Frame interval • Frame size – Test Conditions • Unidirectional (upstream/downstream)/Bi-directional – Wireless to Wired – Wireless to Wireless • Simultaneous latency-sensitive streams • Background traffic load • Path loss (d. B) Submission 7 S. Bangolae, Intel
