Characteristics
Streaming vs. Real Time Media
Streaming applications like YouTube, Netflix, etc can utilize large
Network
Requirements
Bandwidth requirements (1)
Audio 50 Kbps to 220 Kbps per stream (incl. IP header and FEC overhead)
Video 250 Kbps to 4 Mbps per stream (multiple concurrent video streams are possible for multiparty video
conferencing)
Jitter
Desired jitter less than 20 msec
Packet Loss
Desired 0%, acceptable <2% and not more than 3 consecutive lost packets
Both UDP and TCP are supported for Lync 2013 Real Time Media
UDP is preferred for Real Time Media as TCP recovery (retransmits) is usually too long to be useful
Handover Performance
Real Time Media has very different requirements when roaming between APs then when stationary
Delayed handovers from sticky clients can result in multi-second media breaks for voice/video
Clients often stick to an Access Point (AP) even when the signal strength has deteriorated so far as to be unusable
And at the opposite extreme, some clients may ping-pong rapidly between multiple APs or SSIDs
Off-Channel Scanning
Background scanning mechanisms are off-channel too long and inconsistent which may affect media traffic
roaming decisions, and avoiding low data rates are preferable to denying new sessions (only used as a last resort)
SNR and signal strength requirements are different between Real Time Media and data
Data - SNR better than 25 dBm and RSSI better than -90 dBm
Real Time Media - SNR better than 40 dBm and RSSI better than -65 dBm
BYOD policies
voice/video
These mobile devices depend on Wi-Fi but have consumer grade Wi-Fi
mainly in drivers
Departments
Poor audio/video quality and dropped calls

devices)
Determine density - regular office space, conference rooms,
common areas
Determine workloads over Wi-Fi (Real Time Media support)
Type of devices connected - Enterprise / BYOD
Mobile device support - Power save features
Support for guests SSID and mobile device SSID
QoS support (WMM for Wi-Fi)
APs
If supported enable Wi-Fi Alliance Voice Enterprise features
Implement WPA2 in Enterprise Mode
Fast BSS transition support (OKC and/or 802.11r)
Configure for load balancing across APs
QoS/WMM Planning
Ability to classify and prioritize Lync traffic (SIP-TLS) in the presence of lower priority
data traffic
Implement QoS throughout wired and wireless infrastructure to prioritize voice and
video
Implement QoS/WMM with EF queue for WMM Voice
Enable WMM on APs for QoS. Enable QoS on Lync servers and clients
Capacity Planning
Deploy applicable AP density for required coverage and capacity but keep signal levels better
than -65dBm and SNR better than 40dBm (association and roaming probe responses should
have SNR better than 25dBm)
Deploy sufficient number of APs for seamless coverage
Design for capacity based on # of clients in coverage area
Plan for overlapping AP coverage (redundancy) as required
In large conference rooms deploy multiple APs
RF Coverage
Ubiquitous Wi-Fi coverage is required!
Signal strength in coverage footprint (-65dBm or better)

Support for radio resource management (802.11k)
Move dual band devices to 5 GHz (unless there are range limitations)
Evaluate default channel on 2.4 GHz. Most Wi-Fi routers default to 6
(auto is good)
Limit 802.11n 2.4 GHz band to 20 MHz channels
Source of RF interference in 2.4 GHz
Neighbor APs on the same channel
Bluetooth devices
Game consoles (wireless controllers)
Cordless phones
AP/Controller
Multiple APs if more than 15 concurrent users are
anticipated
Deploy SMB APs which support basic load balancing
Typically limited to 2.4 GHz band
Implement policies, such as per device bandwidth
quota
Configure QoS
Quality of Service Policy on Windows Vista/7/8 and Windows Server 2008 R2/2012
QoS Packet Scheduler on Windows XP w/ controlled load (video, DSCP 34) and guaranteed
Lync Phone Edition is using DSCP 40 for audio (change with Set-CsUCPhoneConfiguration
-VoiceDiffServTag 46)
Lync for Mac 2011 is using CS5 (0x28) for audio and CS3 (0x18) for video
Lync Mobile clients use hardcoded QoS Values
