Traffic Smoothing Effects of Bit Dropping in a Packet Voice Multiplexer
01 January 1989
Recent studies have shown that the superposition of packet sequences generated by packetized voice sources exhibit high burstiness due to inherent correlations between successive interarrival times in the superposition stream. In this paper we examine the performance of a packet voice multiplexer in which the less significant bits on voice packets are dropped during states of congestion in the multiplexer.
