Summary:
A novel method of voice frame aggregation for wireless mesh networks is presented. In the method, the degree of aggregation is automatically regulated by the congestion level on the wireless link. On the IEEE 802.11-based mesh network, it is shown to yield approximately twice the call capacity, while incurring no additional delay for frame aggregation.
