I don’t see how you can guarantee quality of service in a noisy shared medium? Sometimes someone else will be transmitting, or running a microwave, and it will be briefly unusable, no?
Nothing can be done about external interference like microwaves, but the base station can allocate time slots where lower priority traffic is not allowed to be sent.
Makes sense; mostly I was confused by your use of “guarantee”.
I’m curious how much of a difference this makes: if my base station were optimally allocating slots to prioritize voice calls how much of the way to “as good as wired ethernet” does that get me? Is most of the problem interference (I count 20 SSID in my “choose network” dropdown right now) or prioritization?
