1. A method comprising:
sending, by a first wireless communication device to a second wireless communication device, a request message comprising a first value of a latency marker, the first value indicating that a traffic stream between the first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device and corresponding to a traffic stream identifier (TID) is latency sensitive; and
receiving, by the first wireless communication device from the second wireless communication device responsive to the request message, a response message comprising a second value of a response latency marker, the second value indicating whether the corresponding traffic stream between the first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device is latency sensitive;
comparing the second value and the first value;
determining, by the first wireless communication device according to a result of the comparing, that the request message has been accepted; and
communicating, by the first wireless communication device with the second wireless communication device responsive to the determining, the corresponding traffic stream as a prioritized traffic stream instead of a regular traffic stream.
