Abstract
Many disasters have shown the critical need for reliable voice communication for mobile users. Low power ad hoc wireless networks have become a promising solution in emergency scenarios because of their low cost and portability. In order to increase communication amongst moving emergency personnel and disaster victims, we have developed a novel convergecast voice streaming system that guarantees robust voice quality in a low power mobile wireless network. The system integrates routing and mobility-aware admission control along with voice compression adjustment to ensure the quality of voice streams. The system is evaluated using Arduino Due micro-controllers with XBee 802.15.4 radios. Our results show that our system can adequately adapt to changing network and routing conditions to deliver sufficient voice quality by maintaining a certain number of concurrent voice streams. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first complete system for quality-aware voice streaming in mobile lower power wireless networks.
