IEEE Contribution to ITU-R on "Radio interface specifications for fixed broadband wireless access (BWA) systems",

This standard specifies the air interface of fixed (stationary) point-to-multipoint broadband wireless access systems providing multiple services. The medium access control layer is capable of supporting multiple physical layer specifications optimized for the frequency bands of application. The standard includes a particular physical layer specification applicable to systems operating between 10 and 66 GHz. http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/download/802.16-2001.pdf IEEE 802.16a-2003 IEEE Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks Part 16: Air Interface for Fixed Broadband Wireless Access Systems--Amendment 2: Medium Access Control Modifications and Additional Physical Layer Specifications for 2-11 GHz. Abstract: This document amends IEEE Std 802.16-2001 by enhancing the medium access control layer and providing additional physical layer specifications in support of broadband wireless access at frequencies from 2 to 11 GHz. The resulting standard specifies the air interface of fixed (stationary) broadband wireless access systems providing multiple services. The medium access control layer is capable of supporting multiple physical layer specifications optimized for the frequency bands of application. The standard includes particular physical layer specifications applicable to systems operating between 2 and 66 GHz. It supports point-tomultipoint and optional mesh topologies. http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/download/802.16a-2003.pdf IEEE 802.16c-2002 IEEE Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks--Part 16: Air Interface for Fixed Broadband Wireless Access Systems--Amendment 1: Detailed System Profiles for 10-66 GHz Abstract: This amendment updates and expands Clause 12 of IEEE Std 802.16-2001, which concerns system profiles that list sets of features and functions to be used in typical implementation cases. Errors and inconsistencies in IEEE Std 802.16-2001 are also corrected. The scope is limited to 10–66 GHz. http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/download/802.16c-2002.pdf ETSI Standards: http:// The specifications contained in this section include the following standards for fixed BWA: a) Standards addressing Fixed BWA below 11 GHz: – ETSI TS 102 177 v1.1.1; Broadband Radio Access Networks (BRAN); HiperMAN; Physical (PHY) Layer. – ETSI TS 102 178 v1.1.1; Broadband Radio Access Networks (BRAN); HiperMAN; Data Link Control (DLC) Layer. – ETSI TS 102 210 v1.1.1; Broadband Radio Access Networks (BRAN); HiperMAN; System Profiles. b.
