![]() The big worry some people have is that Voice will mess up Arbitration. Arbitration is the process by which APs and stations go through a series of procedures in order to avoid devices sending at the same time (and, thus, causing a collision). If your AP or station has been hearing a busy channel for the past 37 microseconds, then it enters Arbitration. If your AP or station has heard a quiet channel for 37 microseconds (0.000037 seconds), then your AP or station transmits a frame (what most people call a packet, but I call a frame). The simplest way I can describe 802.11 Arbitration is like so: Every device (client/station and AP) goes through it. In fact, it will almost certainly help.Īrbitration is a process defined in the 802.11 standard. ![]() ![]() It’s not going to kill your WiFi voice calls. But there’s one thing that sometimes scares people, but really shouldn’t: Voice Arbitration. Retries, packet errors (due to lots of Retries) and high latency (usually due to packet errors that happen because of lots of Retries) will murder a WiFi network’s ability to handle Voice and leave your users screaming (not actually screaming) like they were cast in a horror movie (or, at the very least annoyed like a character from Office Space).
