Abstract
Cellular Wireless Wide Area Networks (WWANs) are most prevalent and offer high-bandwidth data transfer. We believe WWANs can be availed for voice communications employing Voice Over IP technologies. Such a communication will be of better quality and offer higher resilience compared to voice communication over a cellular phone (using cellular voice networks). We present a Quality of Service analysis of one-way voice communication over cellular voice networks and cellular WWANs. By studying different quality metrics we test if WWANs offer a better solution for voice communications compared to traditional cellular voice networks. We also study if employing more than one WWANs or cellular voice networks leads to a higher resilience in voice communication.
