as video or audio, has a higher priority than normal traffic. For WMM to function correctly,
wireless clients must also support WMM.
By enabling WMM, you allow Quality of Service (QoS) co
ntrol for upstream traffic flowing
from a wireless station to the wireless access point and for downstream traffic flowing from
the wireless access point to a wireless station.
WMM defines the following four queues in decreasing order of priority:
• Vo
ice. The highest priority queue with minimum delay, which makes it ideal for
applications like VoIP and streaming media.
• V
ideo. The second highest priority queue with low delay is given to this queue. Video
applications are routed to this queue.
• Best Effort. The
medium priority queue with medium delay is given to this queue. Most
standard IP application use this queue.
• Background. Low priority queu
e with high throughput. Applications, such as FTP, that
are not time-sensitive but require high throughput can use this queue.
The WMM Powersave feature saves power for ba
ttery-powered equipment by increasing the
efficiency and flexibility of data transmission.
Note: For information about how to configure advanced wireless QoS, that
is, to configure specific Enhanced Distributed Channel Access
(EDCA) settings, see
