Wireless 802.16 Standard for
WiMAX, Wi-Fi, Wireless LANs and 802.11 Networks
The IEEE 802.16 WirelessMAN™ Standard - The Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standards Association
(IEEE-SA) sought to make BWA more widely available by developing IEEE Standard
802.16, which specifies the WirelessMAN Air Interface for wireless metropolitan
area networks. The standard, which was published on 8 April 2002, was created in
a two-year, open-consensus process by hundreds of engineers from the world's
leading operators and vendors.
IEEE 802.16 addresses the "first-mile/last-mile" connection in wireless
metropolitan area networks. It focuses on the efficient use of bandwidth between
10 and 66 GHz (the 2 to 11 GHz region with PMP and optional Mesh topologies by
the end of 2002) and defines a medium access control (MAC) layer that supports
multiple physical layer specifications customized for the frequency band of use.
The 10 to 66 GHz standard supports continuously varying traffic levels at
many licensed frequencies (e.g., 10.5, 25, 26, 31, 38 and 39 GHz) for two-way
communications. It enables interoperability among devices, so carriers can use
products from multiple vendors and warrants the availability of lower cost
equipment. The draft amendment for the 2 to 11 GHz region will support both
unlicensed and licensed bands.
