In the paper Wi-Fi Alliance proposes a new mapping scheme to be introduced between DSCP and the 3GPP’s defined 5QI values, which would be usable by network nodes including CPE, client devices, and 3GPP defined gateway functions.īy applying end-to-end QoS between Wi-Fi and 5G networks for emerging FMC deployment scenarios as well as for the Wi-Fi and 5G system convergent scenario, operators can maintain consistent QoS for service data flows across these networks, Wi-Fi Alliance says. In this way differentiated QoS can be achieved by for example in managed enterprise and carrier Wi-Fi networks, Wi-Fi Alliance says. In Wi-Fi Alliance’s Wi-Fi CERTIFIED QoS Management™ approach DSCP markings are mapped to Wi-Fi user priority access categories for voice, video, best effort, background, and so on.

These include architectures with separate or integrated 5G and fixed core networks, fixed wireless access (FWA) using 5G, and more. The paper presents various examples as to how this mapping can take place depending on the exact infrastructure convergence scenario. Wi-Fi Alliance says DSCP mapping can also act as a bridge between Wi-Fi QoS and the 5G QoS identifier (5QI) scheme defined by 3GPP by defining a mapping between 5QI to DSCP. To maintain consistent QoS across wired and Wi-Fi networks the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC 8325 defines a mapping between IETF’s differentiated service code point (DSCP) and IEEE 802.11’s user priority (UP), which is then mapped to Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Multimedia™ (WMM®) access categories. This week Wi-Fi Alliance released a paper advocating for the adoption of a consistent quality of service approach across Wi-Fi and 5G networks based on Wi-Fi Alliance’s already existing Wi-Fi CERTIFIED QoS Management™ and Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Multimedia™ (WMM®) programs. As both Wi-Fi and 5G networks continue to expand so does the need for bringing Wi-Fi and 5G network services together into a single service fabric for user convenience and quality of service – a trend known as Fixed Mobile Convergence, or FMC.
