ITU

IEEE 802.16 has an active relationship with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). IEEE is a Sector Member, as an organization of an international character, in the ITU Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R), as of 31 October 2003. IEEE works with the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) with recognization under the ITU-T A.5 and A.6 procedures.

As of 27 April 2006, Recommendation ITU-R F.1763, on "Radio interface standards for broadband wireless access systems in the fixed service operating below 66 GHz," recommends the use of IEEE Std 802.16 in the fixed service.

As of 8 March 2007, Recommendation ITU-R M.1801, on "Radio interface standards for broadband wireless access systems, including mobile and nomadic applications, in the mobile service operating below 6 GHz," recommends the use of IEEE Std 802.16 in the mobile service.

In November 2006, IEEE submitted contribution 8F/1065 (IEEE L802.16-06/031r2) to ITU-R Working Party 8F proposing the inclusion of a new "IP-OFDMA" radio interface, based on IEEE Std 802.16, in IMT-2000. For details, see the Working Group's IP-OFDMA web page.

ETSI BRAN

IEEE 802.16 has an active relationship with the Broadband Radio Access Networks (BRAN) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). The focus is on the HiperMAN and HiperACCESS elements of ETSI BRAN. ETSI and the IEEE Standards Association have cooperated under the terms of the three-year Co-operation Agreement between ETSI and IEEE-SA that went info effect on 21 April 1999. ETSI BRAN Documents are available to IEEE 802.16 Members and Observers using the 802.16 username and password; see the files indexed by BRAN meeting or the BRAN Inbox of unfiled documents. You can also find a list of BRAN meetings.

CCSA

IEEE 802.16 has an active relationship with the China Communications Standards Association (CCSA), particularly regarding TC5/WG3 on Wireless Access.
