IEEE 802.20
From Free net encyclopedia
IEEE 802.20 or Mobile Broadband Wireless Access (MBWA) Working Group, the establishment of which was approved by IEEE Standards Board on December 11, 2002, aims to prepare a formal specification for a packet-based air interface designed for IP-based services.
It is hoped that such an interface will allow the creation of low-cost always-on broadband wireless networks.
The group will specify physical and medium access control layers of the air interface, operating in bands below 3.5 GHz and allowing the users to transmit data with a peak data rate of over 1 Mbit/s.
The goals of 802.20 and 802.16e, the so-called "mobile WiMAX", are similar. A draft 802.20 specification was balloted and approved on January 18th, 2006.
