Abstract: Real-time voice communication is an essential requirement in first responder scenarios. While mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) already prove to be an appropriate communication substrate in small-scale real-world operations, questions regarding scalability limitations remain. In this paper, we identify major factors that affect the quality of experience of voice communication in MANETs. In a series of simulation studies, we show that voice transmission using MANETs is also feasible in large-scale scenarios, if appropriate settings are chosen.
