The WBA introduces the innovative L4S (Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput) implementation guidelines, providing a groundbreaking solution to tackle latency and congestion issues in Wi-Fi networks.
L4S technology is poised to transform the networking landscape by addressing critical challenges in latency and congestion. It is especially essential for applications requiring low latency and high throughput, such as cloud gaming, AR/VR, video conferencing, and telemedicine.
The guidelines demonstrate how demand for low-latency Wi-Fi applications can be achieved with an explanation of implementation approaches, Access Point (AP) tests and simulation studies for L4S AP performance in different scenarios.
The L4S Implementation Guidelines
The WBA has developed the L4S Implementation Guidelines to assist industry stakeholders in implementing L4S technology, the guidelines cover:
- Reducing media access delays in Wi-Fi networks.
- Enhancing network configurations.
- Complementing QoS Management Stream Classification Services (SCS).
- Optimizing Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) parameters.
In 2025, the WBA will continue advancing L4S in coordination with QoS Management initiatives, including additional trials, report generation, provider surveys, and evolving L4S testing scenarios.
