Congratulations! Regards, Sean Cai ZTE USA, Inc. Suite 250 San Diego, CA 92121 Tel:+1 858-554-0387 Ext. 212 Fax:+1 858-554-0894 -----Original Message----- Dear 802.16 Folks, We have had some success in 802.16, was "forwarded for approval". (Note
that the compromise name "OFDMA TDD WMAN" was selected.) The final approval decisions remain in the future, and
we have a lot of work to do yet. I'll provide more information in
the next few days. Cheers! Roger <http://www.itu.int/newsroom/press_releases/2007/12.html> Press Release International Telecommunication For immediate release Telephone: +41 22 730 6039 Telefax: +41 22 730 5933 IMT-2000 radio interface expanded with OFDMA
technology ITU-R Working Party 8F concludes deliberations in Sector (ITU-R) Working Party 8F (WP 8F) in significant milestone in its work when it forwarded
for approval a new terrestrial radio interface for IMT-2000,
"OFDMA TDD WMAN" as a specific subset of WiMAX. This new terrestrial radio
interface complements the existing family of IMT-2000 radio
interfaces and is in direct response to the demands of ITU Members to
address the continuously growing wireless marketplace. WP 8F has delivered a number of key Recommendations
and Reports that update and expand the family of IMT-2000 radio
interfaces, establish the foundation for IMT-Advanced, and call for
additional spectrum for IMT. It has woven together a definition, a recipe, and
a roadmap foreseeing the future beyond 3G that is comprised of a
balance between a market and services view, a technology view,
and a spectrum view. Along with regulatory aspects, these are the key
elements for business success in the wireless industry, and ITU-R
continues to deliver value to industry and government. Working under a mandate to address "systems
beyond 3G", WP 8F progressed from delivering an initial vision to
establishing a name for the future (IMT-Advanced) and set out principles
for the process of development of IMT-Advanced. These deliverables
stimulated research and development activities worldwide, spawned
ideas on potential technologies, and promoted views on spectrum
required to address a rapidly growing wireless world. ITU is the internationally recognized entity chartered
to produce an official definition of the next generation of wireless
technologies. A full set of documentation for this definition will
be released shortly. During 2008 and 2009, there will be an open
call for candidates for IMT-Advanced to be submitted to ITU, as
well as the start of assessment activities of candidate
technologies and systems. Services provided using IMT-Advanced could be
commercially available as early as 2011 subject to market demand. |
