The report also includes highlights of significant events following the session. In particular, the ITU Radiocommunication Assembly yesterday granted final approval to update the IMT-2000 Recommendation to include a new sixth radio interface, "IMT-2000 OFDMA TDD WMAN", that is based on a normative reference to IEEE Std 802.16. This means that IEEE Std 802.16 is now part of the IMT-2000 family.
