whole industry! Thanks to Regards, Sean
Cai ZTE USA, Inc. Tel:+1 858-554-0387 Ext. 212 Fax:+1 858-554-0894 -----Original Message----- Dear Colleagues and Friends of IEEE 802.16, I write inform you that the ITU Radiocommunication
Assembly has just granted final approval, by consensus, of an update to
Recommendation ITU-R M.1457, the IMT-2000 specification. The update
includes a new sixth radio interface, "IMT-2000 OFDMA TDD
WMAN", that is based on a normative reference to IEEE Std 802.16. In other
words, IEEE Std 802.16 is now part of the IMT-2000 family. The RA also approved, by consensus, updates to two
other recommendations (M.1580 and M.1581) to include
recommendations on unwanted emissions from IMT-2000 OFDMA TDD WMAN base
stations and mobile stations. In all three cases, the RA added
additional non- technical notes to the recommendations. The note to
the M.1457 revision includes a statement from one it did not agree to the approval. During the
discussions, many Member States spoke out in strong support of the new radio
interface. This has been a long process, beginning over a year
ago. I acknowledge and appreciate the diligent and
painstaking efforts of many 802.16 members and friends to get us to this
point. Congratulations to the 802.16 community on this important
recognition! Cheers! Roger Chair, IEEE 802.16 Working Group on Broadband Wireless
Access <http:// WirelessMAN.org> |
