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 IEE
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:
CWMin
Minimum Contention Window (milliseconds):
