I have been unofficially notified that the IEEE-SA Standards Board today approved the two M2M amendment standards from the IEEE 802.16 Working Group:
802.16p/D6 (amendment to IEEE Std 802.16-2012)
802.16.1b/D5 (amendment to IEEE Std 802.16.1-2012)
I will forward the official announcements to the reflector when I receive them in the next few days.
I'd like to send thanks and congratulations to the M2M Task Group, and especially to the TG Chair, Jaesun Cha, and the Technical Editor, Hyunjeong Kang.
The IEEE editorial staff is current preparing the drafts for publication by 10 October. Jaesun is organizing an editorial team to assist by reviewing the work of the editors. The reviews are due to IEEE on 21 September, so the team will have an opportunity to finalize its comments during Session #81. However, the process will by mainly on-line, and you are welcome and encouraged to participate even if you will not attend Session #81.
Regards,
Roger
