Taxonomy and Assessment of Routing Algorithms for VoIP in Wireless Mesh Networks

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are emerging as promising field of wireless technology with self-organizing and self-configuration and real time applications i.e. voice over IP (VoIP). The process of path calculation can be constrained by different criteria, such as QoS. Indeed, many proposals are formulated for VoIP in WMNs, often compared to prove the effectiveness of one method over another. Nevertheless, no coherent evaluation has been clearly established pointing out the different trade-offs involved in many solutions. In this paper, we classified existing proposals to the stated parameters. In fact, we proposed a global solution based on the combination of load balancing, Routing using of Calls Statistics and hop count. Moreover, our goal is to show the importance of the joint consideration of the corresponding criteria.
