摘要：The revolution of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology has propagated everywhere and replaced the conventional telecommunication technology (e.g. landline). Nevertheless, several enhancements need to be done on VoIP technology to improve its performance. One of the main issues is to improve the VoIP network bandwidth (BW) utilization. VoIP packet payload compression is one of the key approaches to do that. This paper proposes a new method to compress VoIP packet payload. The suggested method works over internet telephony transport protocol (ITTP) and named Delta-ITTP method. The core idea of the Delta-ITTP method is to find and transmit the delta between the successive VoIP packet payloads, which is typically smaller than the original VoIP packet payload. The suggested Delta-ITTP method implements VoIP packet payload compression at the sender side and decompression at the receiver side. During the compression process, the Delta-ITTP method needs to keep some values to restore the original VoIP packet payload at the receiver side. For this, the Delta-ITTP method utilizes some of the IP protocol fields and no additional header is needed. The Delta-ITTP method has been deployed and compared with the traditional ITTP protocol without compression. The result showed that up to 19% BW saving was achieved in the tested cases leading to the desired enhancement in the VoIP network BW utilization.
