Mark, Chair, IEEE 802.16 WG, Jan. 2001) 1999: 1st IEEE 802.16 Project Scope: PHY and MAC layer of the air interface of interoperable fixed point-to-multipoint broadband wireless access systems. The specification enables transport of data, video, and voice services. It applies to systems operating in the vicinity of 30 GHz but is broadly applicable to systems operating between 10 and 66 GHz.8NDSLab Copyright2008IEEE 802.16 Standards802.16 MAC + 10-66GHz PHY 802.16a2-11GHz PHY802.16cConformance802.16-2004Revision802.16eMobility802.16/Cor1Maintenance802.16e-2005Revision802.16h-2009 License Exempt802.16jMulti-hop Relay802.16fMIB (fixed)802.16iMIB (mobile)802.16gManagement802.16kBridging802.16/Conf0110GHz PICS802.16/Conf0310GHz RCT802.16/Conf02 10GHzTSS & TP802.16/Conf0411Ghz PICS802.16.2-2001Coexistence802.16.2-2004RevisionManagementCoexistenceConformanceAir Interface: finalized and published: under development802.16mNext Generation WiMAX2802.16Rev2 Consolidate9NDSLab Copyright2008WiMAX Forum http:/www.wimaxforum.org/WiMAX Forum WiMAX: Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access Formed in Apr 2001, by Intel, Proxim, Airspan, Fujitsu, etc. 500+ members including Intel, R&S, Alvarion, Wavesat, PicoChip, Sony, Samsung, Nokia, TI, ADI, III, ITRI, etc. Major Missions To promote deployment of BWA by using a global standard and certifying interoperability of products and technologies.
