  1. Internet Telephony (VoIP) Henning Schulzrinne Dept. of Computer Science Columbia University Fall 2003

  2. Overview • new Internet services: “telephone”, “radio”, “television” • why Internet telephony? • why not already? • Internet telephony modalities • components needed: • audio coding • data transport • quality of service – resource reservation • signaling • PSTN interworking: gateway location, number translation

  3. Name confusion • Commonly used interchangeably: • Internet telephony • Voice-over-IP (VoIP) • IP telephony (IPtel) • Also: VoP (any of ATM, IP, MPLS) • Some reserve Internet telephony for transmission across the (public) Internet • Transmission of telephone services over IP-based packet switched networks • Also includes video and other media, not just voice

  4. New Internet services • tougher: replacing dedicated electronic media vs. new modes (web, email) • distribution media (radio, TV): hard to beat one antenna tower for millions of $30 receivers • typewriter model of development • radio, TV, telephone: a (protocol) convergence?

  5. The phone works – why bother with VoIP

  6. Emergency Calling • 911 in North America, 112 in Europe, others elsewhere • First implemented 1968 in US, now roughly 95% of US population • Basic 911 service: route emergency call to nearest emergency call center (public safety answering point – PSAP) • Later, enhanced 911 (E-9-1-1) for selective routing and conveying caller location information to PSAP • Roughly, 150 million 911 calls per year (2000) • 45 million wireless • For wireless: Phase I and Phase II • Phase I conveys call back number + Pseudo-ANI (cell face identifier) to PSAP • Phase II provides caller location (e.g., via GPS or TOA)

  7. Wireless 911 Phase II - TDOA BellSouth

  8. Wireless 911 Phase II - EOTD BellSouth

  9. Wireless 911 Phase II • Example: Sprint PCS and Nextel use GPS • Implementation just starting • VolP has similar problems as wireless: • devices change “network attachment point”
