IEEE Std 802.16-2012 (Revision of IEEE Std 802.16-2009, developed by Maintenance Task Group under the draft title "P802.16Rev3"). This project developed the third revision of IEEE Std 802.16, following IEEE Std 802.16-2001, IEEE Std 802.16-2004, and IEEE Std 802.16-2009. It consolidates IEEE Standards 802.16-2009, 802.16j-2009, 802.16h-2010, and 802.16m-2011. However, the WirelessMAN-Advanced Air Interface specified in IEEE 802.16m is not included, because it is moved to standalone IEEE Std 802.16.1.
