IV-3-6. WMM
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a Wi-Fi Alliance
interoperability certification based on the
IEEE 802.11e standard, which provides
Quality of Service (QoS) features to IEEE 802.11 networks. WMM prioritizes
traffic according to four categories: background, best effort, video and voice.
Configuring WMM consists of adjusting parameters on queues for different
categories of wireless traffic. Traffic is sent to the following queues:
Background Low
Priority
High throughput, non time sensitive bulk
data e.g. FTP
Best Effort Medium
Priority
Traditional IP data, medium throughput and
delay.
Video High
Priority
Time sensitive video data with minimum
time delay.
Voice High
Priority
Time sensitive data such as VoIP and
streaming media with minimum time delay.
Queues automatically provide minimum transmission delays for video, voice,
multimedia and critical applications. The values can further be adjusted
manually:
