Wireless Controller
User Manual

WMM Mode
: Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM) is enabled by default. With WMM
enabled, QoS prioritization and coordination of wireless medium access is
on. With WMM enabled, QoS settings on the DWC-1000 wireless controller
control downstream traffic flowing from the access point to client station
(AP EDCA parameters) and the upstream traffic flowing from the station to
the access point (station EDCA parameters). Disabling WMM deactivates
QoS control of station EDCA parameters on upstream traffic flowing from
the station to the access point With WMM disabled, you can still set some
parameters on the downstream traffic flowing from the access point to the
client station (AP EDCA parameters).
To disable WMM extensions, click
Disabled
.
To enable WMM extensions, click
Enabled
Station EDCA Parameters
Queue
: Queues are defined for different types of data transmitted from
station-to-AP:
Data 0 (Voice):
High 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).
AIFS (Inter-Frame Space):
The Arbitration Inter-Frame Spacing (AIFS)
specifies a wait time for data frames. The wait time is measured in slots.
Valid values for AIFS are 1 through 255.
cwMin (Minimum Contention Window):
This parameter is used by the
algorithm that determines the initial random backoff wait time (window)
for data transmission during a period of contention for The value specified
in the Minimum Contention Window is the upper limit (in milliseconds) of
a range from which the initial random backoff wait time is determined. The
