ZTE: Distributed Wi-Fi: D-WLAN Solution

ZTE's Distributed Wi-Fi: D-WLAN solution leverages AI-based service recognition to reduce network latency and enhance home network reliability.

ZTE's Distributed Wi-Fi: D-WLAN solution leverages AI-based service recognition and integrates three key technologies—Co-EDCA, data forwarding plane control, and lossless roaming—to reduce network latency and enhance home network reliability. This technology identifies priority latency-sensitive traffic, such as online gaming, VoIP, and video conferencing, by analyzing traffic characteristics like uplink/downlink packet rate (pps), packet interval, packet size, and duration. Co-EDCA dynamically configures Wi-Fi air interface parameters for mesh nodes carrying latency-sensitive traffic. It assigns competitive parameters, prioritizing access to Wi-Fi channels and, combined with WMM technology, reduces transmission latency and improves stability during peak traffic times.
JUDGE'S COMMENT: "This product's AI Service Recognition Technology sets this solution apart from competitors."
