resolution mechanism first selects data with the highest priority to be granted a 
transmit opportunity. Then the same collision resolution mechanism is used 
externally to determine which device has access to the wireless medium. 

For each AC queue, the collision resolution mechanism is dependent on two 
timing parameters:

„

AIFSN (Arbitration Inter-Frame Space Number), a number used to calculate the 
minimum time between data frames

„

CW (Contention Window), a number used to calculate a random backoff time

After a collision detection, a backoff wait time is calculated. The total wait time is 
the sum of a minimum wait time (Arbitration Inter-Frame Space, or AIFS) 
determined from the AIFSN, and a random backoff time calculated from a value 
selected from zero to the CW. The CW value varies within a configurable range. It 
starts at CWMin and doubles after every collision up to a maximum value, 
CWMax. After a successful transmission, the CW value is reset to its CWMin 
value.

Figure 38   

WMM Backoff Times

For high-priority traffic, the AIFSN and CW values are smaller. The smaller values 
equate to less backoff and wait time, and therefore more transmit opportunities.

To configure WMM, select the Radio Settings page, and scroll down to the WMM 
configuration settings.
