Mirroring an iPhone screen on the apple TV is just the same task we do the airplay, it is just called mirroring as it presents the real iPhone screen to your TV screen. All the requirements are done when you got the same wi-fi connection to both the devices i.e. iPhone and the Apple TV.
When you turn on the mirroring option from the control centre the options occurred with the devices connected to the wi-fi, you have to choose one and enter the airplay password to it and on the other hand you have to just adjust the screen requirements to make it fir to the screen of apple TV.
Mirroring provides the great experience of having your iPhone screen on the HD mode apple TV.
