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:
49!
!
CWMin
Minimum Contention Window
(milliseconds): This value is input to the
initial random backoff wait time algorithm
for retry of a data frame transmission. The
backoff wait time will be generated
between 0 and this value. If the frame is
not sent, the random backoff value is
doubled until the value reaches the
number defined by CWMax (below). The
CWMin value must be lower than the
CWMax value. The contention window
scheme helps to avoid frame collisions
and determine priority of frame
transmission. A shorter window has a
higher probability (priority) of transmission.
CWMax
Maximum Contention Window
(milliseconds): This value is the upper limit
to random backoff value doubling (see
above).
AIFSN
Arbitration Inter-Frame Space
(milliseconds): Specifies additional time
between when a channel goes idle and
the AP/client sends data frames. Traffic
with a lower AIFSN value has a higher
priority.
TxOP
Transmission Opportunity (milliseconds):
The maximum interval of time an AP/client
can transmit. This makes channel access
more efficiently prioritized. A value of 0
means only one frame per transmission. A
greater value effects higher priority.
