Ah the all-knowing network... :-)

Since GPRS and until 4G I used clients on windows to connect to cellular
networks.  All clients offered some parameters for QoS settings on
cellular.  These parameters were never respected, because the network
seemed to know better.

It should be the other way around :-)

<DL> No it shouldn’t.   The network is a service you buy.  It is delivered against an SLA and that SLA is built from the capabilities of the infrastructure, the cost of provision and the sales margin.

You enter into a contract to deliver with the carrier and it is their job to deliver against that contract.  Yes, for the most part the Internet contract just says ‘best efforts’ but that has never been the case with PTT voice and increasingly customers want to buy differentiated services across the network.  And we as an industry want to sell them that because that is where the money is, money we need to invest in new infrastructure.

What SHOULD happen is the same as when you book a parcel to be collected from home – you are given a choice of (in my case) five courier companies including the legacy post office and within each of those various grades of service with all kinds of options.  Against each of those is a price which I pay and then I expect the service to deliver against that outcome.  If that fails, I am recompensed.   Just as with the Internet, there are multiple (often over-lapping) transport elements involved and each are rewarded for their part in the overall SLA. </DL>

Carrying out mappings across the wider Internet is a great idea and I
support it.

I understand a little bit VoLTE, yet I dont see precisely why would it
be better than a WhatsApp voice calls, a whatsapp that I understand even
less.

<DL> Because VoLTE packets flow over the Dedicated Bearer whereas everything else flows over the Default Bearer.

You need to revisit RF modulation techniques...  The LTE system uses OFDMA (at least in the downlink – I think it is SC-FDMA in the uplink but someone else will know and the same facts hold true) but each sub-carrier can use a different modulation scheme based on the RF conditions and the requirements of the service.

Some of these modulation schemes are more robust in poor RF conditions but obviously the trade-off is between available bandwidth and use of the sub-carrier(s).

In the case of a VoLTE service, the packets in the media stream are mapped directly to the correct number of sub-carriers with a modulation scheme that is very robust under changing RF conditions so it is possible to offer a GBR (Guaranteed Bit Rate) service (I want to say QPSK for the GBR modulation but I am not 100% sure and I know someone will correct me).

I can’t remember all the details, but when you request a Dedicated Bearer as GBR for voice, you will allocate a certain number of sub-carriers with the most robust modulation scheme based on the overall voice bit-rate (voice codecs being totally deterministic in terms of packetization rate).  There is also no contention onto those sub-carriers because the Traffic Flow Template on the UE and at the eNB ensure that ONLY SIP media traffic flows over them.

In the case of WhatsApp (which also uses SIP), not only are you contending for space on the bearer, you will typically be using the least robust modulation scheme because that is the highest in terms of ‘bandwidth.’

It is very easy to show the impact of the GBR vs non-GBR bearers – get in a car, make a VoLTE call whilst travelling at 50-60km/h and run a ping at the same time.  I can guarantee that, provided you have continuous 4G coverage, the voice call will be perfect – the ping will fail.  Also, the failure-mode of the call will be much more defined – cliff-edge effect for voice, randomly lost packets for the ping.   For rich media/high-quality audio cliff-edge is much more preferable to the lost-packet/jitter scenario.

VoLTE is a specific use-case of IMS – in theory, I could build a GBR service for ANY 5-tuple with a range of QCIs simply by defining the modulation on the sub-carriers and aggregating them up to the total number in the channel but that would leave me without any space for Default Bearer services.

It is impossible for any end-point to set ‘QoS’ at this low radio level.  This is a network feature which is an exact trade-off between quality and quantity. </DL>

I would like to know whether both VoLTE and WhatsApp work ok on IPv6 or
not.  The latter <(whatsapp) I can check myself right now, but the
former no - VoLTE is a concept bound to a particular operator, if I
understand correctly.  I am not at that operator.

<DL> You cannot see the VoLTE packets as an end user.  Whether they use IPv4, IPv6 or any other protocol is really irrelevant. </DL>


That means that I can try right away a handover of an ongoing whatsapp
call between wifi and 4G.  I can show right away whether it breaks or
not.  If it breaks, I can formulate right away a requirement for it not
to break.  If it keeps up, but there are some audio glitches, then I can
formulate a requirement for these glitches to go away.

<DL> “… I can formulate a requirement for these glitches” No you can’t.  You have NO control as an end-user over the direction of flow of the packets associated with the media stream over the air interface.  Of course WhatsApp will work as you switch from 802.11 to LTE and back but just as the default bearer in LTE has no QoS, current 802.11 (other than WiFi6) has no concept of RF capabilities.

And even with WiFi6, who determines which packets travel on the robust modulation items?  You’d just end up with everything being marked ‘high-priority’ and there would be much less bandwidth to share – self-defeating.

And be VERY careful what you mean by ‘break.’  This is down to the use case – if I’m accompanying a singer/soloist over an LTE service (which I often do), then what is important for me is utter stability – jitter, lost packets or changes of codec are an utter nightmare because my brain is already very busy reading music, playing the piano.  I really don’t have many more cycles left to second-guess that lost note or slight change in tempo introduced by a bit of packet buffering.  In that case, actually VoLTE is very, very good.

But if I’m talking to someone where 30% of speech is silence and the brain is excellent at in-filling words then the occasional glitch on VoIP services such as WhatsApp is probably acceptable (although for me, very annoying!) </DL>


For VoLTE I cant do any of these immediately obvious steps.

But I can agree with you, based on trust, that probably VoLTE is a great
performing tool.

<DL> It is and I think we would be churlish to think it is anything but.  What I think we need in future 6G networks is a domain-independent way of extending the concept of SLAs that is implied by IMS across the whole of the Internet so that we offer differentiated services both for technical and commercial reasons.   But we need to do that in an inter-operable and open manner, not the closed-world of 3GPP, IMvHO. </DL>
