A host
system and method implementing
quality of service requirements for a WIFI sensing application. A method for enforcing
Quality of Service (QoS) requirements in a WiFi communication network of a vehicle or another host
system having one or more
wireless sensors, WiFi or WiFi-enabled sensors, includes detecting, using a central coordinator (CCo) node of the network,
wireless traffic over one or more channels of the network as detected WiFi traffic. The method includes identifying an access category (AC) of the detected traffic as corresponding to sensed traffic, i.e., sensing operation of the
wireless sensor. The CCo node assigns a higher priority to the WiFi sense traffic relative to other
wireless traffic on the channel (s). One or more QoS parameters may be modified, including any inter-frame space number (AIFSN), contention window (CW) size,
transmission opportunity (TXOP) value, and / or respective thresholds for
request to send (RTS) frames and allowed to send (CTS) frames for detected sensed traffic.
