IEEE 802.16 IMT-Advanced Candidate Proposal
On 3 October 2009, the IEEE submitted to ITU-R Working Party 5D a "Candidate IMT-Advanced RIT based on IEEE 802.16". The proposal became the contribution ITU-R 5D/542 (see L802.16-09/010Xr5). The proposal had been developed in the IEEE 802.16 Working Group, which approved it, on 24 September, during a Joint Plenary with the IEEE 802.18 TAG.

Related activity:

• IEEE issued a press release on 6 October entitled IEEE Proposes IMT-Advanced Candidate Based on IEEE 802.16™.
• The WiMAX Forum copied to IEEE 802.16 its contribution, co-signed by 50 companies, to ITU-R WP 5D on Endorsement of Candidate IMT-Advanced RIT based on IEEE 802.16.
