stds-802-16: Session #26 agenda
Folks,
I have updated the Session #26 page:
http://ieee802.org/16/meetings/mtg26
with the week's overall agenda:
http://ieee802.org/16/meetings/mtg26/agenda.html
Please note a couple of features:
*As decided in May, the 802.16 Closing Plenary will take place on
Friday morning (8-11 am) instead of Thursday evening.
*There is only one 802 Tutorial scheduled so far. It should be
interesting. It's called "Ethernet 30th Anniversary Retrospective,"
with speakers to include Ethernet pioneer Bob Metcalfe (who, by the
way, mentioned 802.16 in a fascintating recent interview
<http://news.com.com/2008-1082_3-1008450.html?tag=fd_lede2_hed>).
*I've added a Working Group meeting on Monday evening on "Proposed
New Concepts." This is in response to some requests I've received for
presentations on potential enhancements to the 802.16 air interface.
What I've heard so far is about >10 GHz ideas, including mesh and
beam steering. Since Monday evening wasn't in use, I thought we could
let people air their ideas and get some reaction. If you have
something to add, let me know by July 14 so I can make the detailed
agenda.
By the way, don't forget that on-line registration ends this Saturday:
