WiFi Multimedia

WiFi Multimedia is an advanced feature that allows you to prioritize various types of data
travelling over the wireless network. Certain types of data that are sensitive to delays,
such as voice or video, must be prioritized ahead of other, less delay-sensitive types, such
as email.
WiFi Multimedia currently implements wireless Quality of Service (QoS) by transmitting
data depending on Diffserv priority settings. These priorities are mapped into four Access
Categories (AC), in increasing order of priority:
• Background (BK),
• Best Effort (BE),
•
Video (VI), and
• Voice (VO).
It requires WiFi Multimedia (WMM)-capable clients, usually a separate feature enabled at
the client network settings, and client PC software that makes use of Differentiated Ser-
vices (Diffserv). Refer to your operating system instructions for enabling Diffserv QoS.
