Summary: 
This paper proposes a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) session capacity expansion method that uses periodic packet transmission suppression control for wireless LANs. The proposed method expands the VoIP session capacity of an AP without critically degrading the QoS (Quality of Service) of all stations. Simulation results show the proposed method with 0.5% packet suppression control on each station expands a VoIP session capacity by up to 5% compared to a legacy method while satisfying required QoS for all stations.
