Solution Features • Supports WMM • Support U-APSD • Supports TSPEC Admission Control • Supports 7920 Admission Control • Provides Voice Instrumentation
Applications Background Best Effort Video Voice Internal Collision Resolution Classification • WMM Access separates traffic types in to 4 categories • Background, Best Effort, Video, Voice • These all compete for the channel with different delay and random back off characteristics
IEEE 802.11e—EDCAEnhanced Distributed Channel Access • Superset of DCF • EDCA allows high priority traffic first access to the media, by altering the IFS, and the random back-off • Transmission Operation (TXOP) is given to the lowest QoS Station (QSTA) • QSTAs with the same Access Category (AC) have the same back-off time A[0] IFS Contention Window (CWmin[0]) Time (t) A[n] IFS Contention Window (CWmin[n]) Time (t)
U-APSD • AKA WMM-Power Save • Client receives buffered frames when it transmits, rather than polling for buffered frames • Increased Power Saving • Increased Call capacity
TSPEC Based Call Admission Control • Allows clients to request capacity for calls on the AP • Allows the APs to reserve capacity for establishing calls and accepting roaming calls
QoS Mapping Table • WMM CoS is are mapped to AVVID DSCP marking by a translation table • AVVID DSCP markings are mapped to WMM CoS using the same table
