IEEE Launches Revision Project IEEE P802.22.1TM On Advanced Beaconing to Enable Spectrum Sharing and Facilitate Opening Up of New 2 GHz - 4 GHz Spectrum for Fixed and Mobile Wireless Broadband Applications
PISCATAWAY, N.J. --(Business Wire)--
IEEE (News - Alert), the world's largest professional organization advancing technology
for humanity, today announced that it has authorized the revision
project to add advanced beaconing capabilities to IEEE 802.22.1™-20101,
to enable spectrum sharing in 2 GHz to 4GHz band and facilitate opening
up of new spectrum to support a wide variety of wireless applications.
"Such a standardized advanced beacon is an innovative way to enable
spectrum sharing in many bands and for many innovative applications,"
said Dr. Apurva N. Mody, chair of the IEEE 802.22™ Wireless Regional
Area Networks Working Group.
This revision project, IEEE P802.22.1™, was introduced to support the
United States President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology
(PCAST) report
promoting the sharing and more efficient use of spectrum through new
cognitive radio technologies and interference-mitigation techniques, to
make 500 megahertz of new spectrum available for fixed and mobile
wireless broadband.
Currently, a database service approach has been proposed to communicate
information about exclusion zones to protect U.S. Navy coastal
operations and other Department of Defense (DOD) test and training
areas. Such an approach may deprive significant U.S. population from
enjoying this newly available spectrum.
However, beaconing approaches such as the one developed in IEEE
802.22.1-2010 that were originally designed for interference protection
of licensed wireless microphones may be used for these bands. Such an
advanced beacon could be transmitted by the primary users in these bands
to enable semi-real-time and dynamic spectrum sharing and make this
spectrum available nationwide, and especially in the significantly
populated coastal areas.
The IEEE 802.22 Working Group, recipient of the IEEE Standards
Association (IEEE-SA) Emerging Technology Award, has completed and
published the IEEE 802.22-201 on cognitive-radio-based Wireless
Regional Area Networks that provides broadband access to wide regional
areas globally and bring reliable and secure high-speed communications
to under-served and un-served rural communities.
The IEEE P802.22.1 Task Group calls for contribution from interested
participants for the development of this standard. Work on this project
will begin following the March 2013 IEEE 802® plenary session
in Orlando, Fla.
