IEEE 802.22 Charter
The IEEE 802.22, the Working Group on Wireless Regional Area Networks ("WRANs"), has developed a wide variety of standards to enable spectrum sharing.

The completed projects include, 802.22, 802.22.1, 802.22.2, 802.22a, 802.22b. The 802.22.3, has been transitioned to the 802.15 Working Group as 802.15.22.3 Task Group. The PARs may be viewed by clicking on their respective links.

The IEEE 802.22 Working Group ceased activity and entered a state of hibernation on 19th July 2019.

On-going Projects
  • Spectrum Characterization and Occupancy Sensing Task Group has been transitioned to the 802.15 Working Group as 802.15.22.3 Task Group working on Internet of Things for Distributed Sensing.
  • IEEE P802.22.1 Advanced Beaconing Revision has been put on hold until there is a need for this standard in the marketplace.
