QoS (Quality of Service) Packet Priority

Wireless Multimedia Extensions (WME), also known as WiFi MultiMedia (WMM), provide basic QoS features
to IEEE 802.11n networks. WMM prioritizes traffic according to four Access Categories (AC):
• Voice
Video
•
• Best Effort
• Background
Traffic is prioritized by these access categories, and the implementation defined by the WMM standard.
Traffic is therefore suitable for applications that require QoS over WiFi, (for example, Voice over IP (VoIP).
Note: In order to allow QoS through the WBSn-2400, both ends of the network (CPE on the wireless side
and the switch/router on the Ethernet side) should support priority tagging. This permits the marking of a
specific packet with a specific priority.
Downlink, a packet from the wire-line network is received by the WBSn, and its priority detected. The
packet will be prioritized over the air according to WMM AC prioritization. When the packet reaches the CPE,
the CPE passes it to its LAN interface according to the packet definition.
Uplink, the CPE will detect the priority (as defined at the CPE) and will pass the frame with the correct
WMM AC characteristics, thus providing the priority classification on the wireless side.
