IEEE 802.19(TM) TAG TO STANDARDIZE METHODS FOR
ASSESSING COEXISTENCE OF WIRELESS NETWORKS
PISCATAWAY, N.J., USA, 3 April 2006 The IEEE 802.19(TM) Wireless
Coexistence Technical Advisory Group (TAG) has begun development of a
recommended practice on methods for assessing the coexistence of
wireless
networks. This document will define recommended wireless coexistence
metrics and the methods for computing them, as well as various wireless
coexistence scenarios.
"Industry continues to develop new standards and specifications
for
wireless networks that operate in the same frequency bands as other
wireless networks." said Paul Nikolich, Chair of the IEEE 802(R) Local
Area
and Metropolitan Area Network Standards Committee. "IEEE 802, for
instance, has multiple working groups developing wireless networks
standards for systems that share frequency bands. The recommended
practice
to be created by the IEEE 802.19 TAG will help IEEE 802 working groups
and
the rest of the industry assess the performance of new wireless
technologies and those now deployed in shared frequency bands."
Steve Shellhammer, Chair of the IEEE 802.19 Technical Advisory
Group,
adds that "The IEEE 802.19 TAG continues its work to meet the evolving
needs of the public and industry. This project addresses the call for
standardized methods to evaluate how effectively wireless networks
coexist."
The document to be developed by the TAG, IEEE 802.19(TM),
"Recommended Practice for Information Technology--Telecommunications and
Information Exchange between systems--Local and Metropolitan networks--
Specific requirements-- Part 19: Methods for assessing coexistence of
wireless networks", is expected to be published in 2008.
About the IEEE 802.19 Wireless Coexistence TAG
The IEEE 802.19 Wireless Coexistence Technical Advisory Group
develops and maintains IEEE 802 policies on the coexistence of new IEEE
802
wireless standards. It performs technical reviews of coexistence
assurance
documents on such standards and develops recommended practices on
methods
for assessing the coexistence of wireless networks. For more information
on
the IEEE 802.19 Wireless Coexistence TAG, see http://www.ieee802.org/19.
About the IEEE Standards Association
The IEEE Standards Association, a globally recognized
standards-setting body, develops consensus standards through an open
process that brings diverse parts of an industry together. These
standards
set specifications and procedures based on current scientific consensus.
The IEEE-SA has a portfolio of more than 870 completed standards and
more
than 400 standards in development. For information on IEEE-SA see:
http://standards.ieee.org/
About the IEEE
The IEEE has more than 375,000 members in approximately 150
countries. Through its members, the organization is a leading authority
on
areas ranging from aerospace, computers and telecommunications to
biomedicine, electric power and consumer electronics. The IEEE produces
nearly 30 percent of the world's literature in the electrical and
electronics engineering, computing and control technology fields. This
nonprofit organization also sponsors or cosponsors more than 300
technical
conferences each year. Additional information about the IEEE can be
