Wireless Multimedia Extensions (WME)/Quality of Service (QoS) Introduction

The AP supports Wireless Multimedia Enhancements, also known as Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM), which defines an
intermediate solution for QoS functionality until the IEEE 802.11e specification is formally approved. WME is based on a
subset of the 802.11e standard, and defines enhancements to the MAC for wireless LAN applications with Quality of
Service requirements, which include transport of voice traffic over IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs.
The enhancement are in the form of changes in protocol frame formats (addition of new fields and information elements),
addition of new messages, definition of new protocol actions, channel access mechanisms (differentiated control of
access to medium) and network elements (QoS/WME aware APs, STAs), and configuration management.
WME supports Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) for prioritized QoS services. The WME/QoS feature can
be enabled or disabled. For more information on QoS, see "Technical Bulletin 69504 Revision 2" at
<http://keygen.proxim.com/support/orinoco/tb/tb69504_3wmm.pdf>.
