Train Wreck Waiting to Happen
Doing 3 different basic applications: Voice, Video, and Data from the same device How many different communication protocols are used in each of those applications? How many of those applications are a direct port from Ethernet which does not have roaming? When layer 2 changes, is the application still going to work?

Bluetooth Continued
When using a headset, the Wi-Fi voice packets will be replicated by the BT radio at much slower BT data rates on the 2.4GHz channels used by Wi-Fi.
In multichannel 2.4GHz Wlan, that means those slow BT packets will affect all Wi-Fi channels. A BT chipset may be built for the 3.0 specification, but the BT driver may be using a earlier device code.
The previous slide shows early BT specification behavior.

Bandwidth Management
With Video Calling: Now More Important Than Ever
Recommendations:
11n Packet Aggregation Configuration for Dense Video/Voice Manage out all possible interferers Manage out all possible low data rates Use MIMO antenna technology to its fullest extent
Use Legacy Client Link and Future 802.11n Client Link Use Band Select Use Call Admission Control Use Multicast Direct Enable Windows XP and Windows 7 QoS

Ideal Environment for 802.11b/g/a/n Phone Clients the Cell Edge Recommendation Is -67dBm.
A typical deployment showing a 1015% overlap from each of the adjoining cells. Provides almost complete redundancy throughout the cell.
With 5GHz there are enough channels available there should be no need to have a co-channel design, but this would the recommendation for dense 5GHz deployments and for all 2.4GHz deployments The same design principle applies for deployments using 802.11n APs.
or
Channel 44
-67dBm

-86dBm
This example shows just 3 of the 5GHz 11a or bounded 11n channels.

Capacity by Coverage Area becomes a DATA RATE and TRANSMIT POWER Configuration Issue. Faster Data Rates = Smaller Cells Lower Transmit Powers = Smaller Cells
Loss the Slow Data Rates and High TX Powers then the Cells will be Smaller.

Set to Disabled all data rates except the estimated best fit data rate
Use the Actual Clients that the User is going to use Do Live Calls with those Clients Check the RSSI Reading Off the AP Find the -67 dBm range by slowly moving away from the AP
Now select a client radio to be the survey benchmark radio Disable the Slow Data Rates and abandon High TX Powers -> the Cells will be Smaller

Percentage wise, by packet count, the Voice and Video are fairly similar. But the Video packets are nearly 4 times bigger. Therefore taking up substantially more bandwidth, if assigned the same QoS as Voice packets.

Key Takeaways
Smart Phones capabilities are changing rapidly. Regularly review what devices in your environment and their Wi-Fi and BT behaviors are.
802.11n Packet Aggregation configuration recommendations are likely to change in the next couple code releases. Check the release notes for possible updates on configurations.
BT and Wi-Fi Direct do share the same frequencies as Wi-Fi and will consume channel bandwidth. Claims that they are not is untrue.
MIMO Antennas and Beam Forming are your friends.
