In this paper, we address QoS (Quality of Service) issues of video transmission over WiFi-WMM based triple play home networks. Based on NS2 (Network Simulator version2) tool, a simulation study was conducted using triple traffic patterns (video, voice and data) under various home network scenarios. The results basically illustrate that WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) cannot provide sufficient QoS mechanisms to guarantee quasi error free video delivery in a home network when video is competing with voice and data.
