The IEEE (define) 802.11 Working Group put the finishing touches on the specification called 802.11e last month. The standard will enhance the Media Access Control (MAC) layer of 802.11 chips to handle quality of service (QoS) — in other words, it prioritizes traffic such as video, audio and voice on Wi-Fi networks, delivering better performance for VoIP and multimedia applications.
