IEEE Communications Society and NY GOLD invites you to join us for a special presentation called "VOIP OVER 802.11" with speaker Professor Henning Schulzrinne.

IEEE 802.11-based networks are likely to become popular as replacements for cordless phones, particularly in enterprise settings, and as a way to fill in cellular coverage inside buildings and homes. However, using 802.11a/b/g for VoIP poses a number of challenges, including how to make hand-offs transparent, how to maximize capacity and how to limit the number of concurrent calls to avoid quality degradation. In the IRT Lab at Columbia University, we have proposed and investigated a number of techniques that address these issues. In addition, measurements of 802.11 networks illustrate some of the operational and modeling challenges.

Prof. Henning Schulzrinne is Julian Clarence Levi Professor of Computer Science at Columbia University . He has published more than 200 journal and conference papers, and more than 50 Internet RFCs. Protocols co-developed by him are now Internet standards, used by almost all Internet telephony and multimedia applications. More information about his background is available through this link: http://www1.cs.columbia.edu/~hgs/resume/bio.txt.

This work is the combined efforts with Ashutosh Dutta, Andrea Forte, Sangho Shin, and Kenta Yasukawa.
