Trends and Opportunities
With the new breed of applications such as AR/VR, gaming, video conferencing and IoT, Wi-Fi QoS support is becoming more vital. In addition, the new breed of applications have brought in new sets of requirements not addressed completely by existing Wi-Fi QoS mechanisms.
However, the latest Wi-Fi QoS specification at IEEE 802.11e was released in 2005 and Wi-Fi Alliance developed parallel work on Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) in the same year .
The market requires up-to-date insights to address the QoS issues that the industry needs. It is important to identify end-to-end QoS management trials to provide reliable data clarify and proof of concepts on the QoS performance over Wi-Fi, challenges and bottlenecks and address how QoS management R1 mitigate the bottlenecks and enables better QoS performance.
Business Benefits
This project provides a clear understanding of new QoS capabilities, their benefits and business opportunities for operators and industry players by assessing the readiness for device vendors’ implementations, operators’ deployments with end-to-end trials, and enabling market adoption.
Expected Deliverables
- Provide platform for end-to-end trials to obtain valuable data in identifying performance bottlenecks for newer (more challenging) applications like AR/VR, process control in Industrial/robotic applications, etc., that can be used to drive actions in other standards bodies;
- Consolidate data from the result of the end-to-end QoS trials to evaluate the readiness of QoS Management R1 for industry implementation and deployments.
