Resumen
5G technology is spreading extremely quickly. Many services, including Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP), have utilized the features of 5G technology to improve their performance. VoIP service is gradually ruling the telecommunication sector due to its various advantages (e.g., free calls). However, VoIP service wastes a substantial share of the VoIP 5G network?s bandwidth due to its lengthy packet header. For instance, the share of the packet header from bandwidth and channel time reaches 85.7% of VoIP 5G networks when using the IPv6 protocol. VoIP designers are exerting considerable efforts to solve this issue. This paper contributes to these efforts by designing a new technique named Zeroize (zero sizes). The core of the Zeroize technique is based on utilizing the unnecessary fields of the IPv6 protocol header to keep the packet payload (voice data), thereby reducing or ?zeroizing? the payload of the VoIP packet. The Zeroize technique substantially reduces the expanded bandwidth of VoIP 5G networks, which is reflected in the wasted channel time. The results show that the Zeroize technique reduces the wasted bandwidth by 20% with the G.723.1 codec. Therefore, this technique successfully reduces the bandwidth and channel time of VoIP 5G networks when using the IPv6 protocol.
