stds-802-16: approval of IEEE Standard 802.16c-2002!



At its meeting today, the IEEE-SA Standards Board met today and 
approved, as an IEEE Standard, P802.16c/D4 ("Amendment to IEEE 
Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks - Part 16: Air 
Interface for Fixed Broadband Wireless Access Systems - Detailed 
System Profiles for 10-66 GHz").

Congratulations to Ken Stanwood (Task Group Chair) and Carl Eklund 
(Editor)! This was a major piece of technical work, including 90 
pages, with corrections to the base standard in addition to the 
system profiles.

The project was completed on an efficient schedule. The PAR was 
approved only seven months ago, and the final draft was submitted to 
RevCom more than three months before the target date. To see how this 
was done, take a look at the schedule 
<http://ieee802.org/16/tgc/schedule.html>.

We are working with IEEE-SA to have IEEE Standard 802.16c-2002 
published by 9 January 2003. In the meantime, the approved draft is 
still for sale in the IEEE catalog at 
<http://shop.ieee.org/store/product.asp?prodno=UE5901>.

Cheers!

Roger
