Figure 5-31 Station EDCA Parameters
Queue displays the transmission queue. By default, the priority
from high to low is Data 0, Data 1, Data 2, and Data 3. The priority
may be changed if you reset the EDCA parameters.
Data 0 (Voice)—Highest priority queue, minimum delay. Time-
sensitive data such as VoIP and streaming media are
automatically sent to this queue.
Data 1 (Video)—High priority queue, minimum delay. Time-
sensitive video data is automatically sent to this queue.
Data 2 (Best Effort)—Medium priority queue, medium throughput
and delay. Most traditional IP data is sent to this queue.
Data 3 (Background)—Lowest priority queue, high throughput.
Bulk data that requires maximum throughput and is not time-
sensitive is sent to this queue (FTP data, for example).
A wait time for data frames. The wait time is measured in slots.
Valid values for Arbitration Inter-Frame Space are from 0 to 15.
A list to the algorithm that determines the initial random backoff
wait time (window) for retry of a transmission. This value cannot
be higher than the value for the Maximum Contention Window.
The upper limit (in milliseconds) for the doubling of the random
backoff value. This doubling continues until either the data frame
is sent or the Maximum Contention Window size is reached.
This value must be higher than the value for the Minimum
Contention Window.
