The IEEE Std. 802.22-2011 was approved by the ISO/ EEE JTC1 / SC6. This new standard will be referred to as the 802 ISO/IEC/IEEE Std. 8802-22:2015 - Press Release Overview off the IEEE 802.22 Working Group Activities and Standards Page 5 P802.22b Amendment: Enhancements for Broadband Services and Monitoring Applications Scope: This standard specifies alternate Physical Layer (PHY) and necessary Medium Access Control Layer (MAC) enhancements to IEEE std. 802.22-2011 for operation in Very High Frequency (VHF)/ Ultra High Frequency (UHF) TV broadcast bands between 54 MHz and 862 MHz to support enhanced broadband services and monitoring applications. The standard supports aggregate data rates greater than the maximum data rate supported by the IEEE Std. 802.22-2011. This standard defines new classes of 802.22 devices to address these applications and supports more than 512 devices in a network. This standard also specifies techniques to enhance communications among the devices and makes necessary amendments to the cognitive, security & parameters and connection management clauses. This amendment supports mechanisms to enable coexistence with other 802 systems in the same band P802.22b Amendment in its Final Stages of Approval EEE within the IEEE.

The Management Information Base (MIB) structure enhancements include changes to comply with the ASN.1 format and support for the new clause. Modifications to the existing clause on Primitives for Cognitive Radio Capabilities to align it with the content in the MIB clause and the new clause are also defined. The IEEE Std. 802.22a-2014 Approved by the IEEE in EEE 2014. Planning to Forward this Standard to ISO for 802 Consideration through the PSDO Process Overview off the IEEE 802.22 Working Group Activities and Standards Page 7 IEEE Std. 802.22.1-2010 and the Advanced Beaconing (Revision) Title: IEEE Standard for Information Technology--Telecommunications and information exchange between systems--Local and metropolitan area networks--Specific requirements Part 22.1: Standard to Enable Spectrum Sharing using Advanced Beaconing Scope: This standard specifies methods for spectrum sharing using advanced beaconing. The beacon specifies a format that facilitates its detection at low Signal to Noise Ratios. It contains information about a system that requires interference protection and is willing to share the spectrum with other systems. The Standard defines Physical Layer (PHY) and Medium Access Control Layer (MAC) for advanced beacon operation in High Frequency (HF), Very High Frequency (VHF), Ultra High Frequency (UHF) (3MHz to 862 MHz) and the S-Band (2 GHz – 4 GHz). Enhanced security features, spectrum management, self- organizing network and relay capabilities are included in the beacon specification. The beacon supports spectrum sharing with licensed wireless microphones, radars, fixed and transportableEEE space to earth receiver stations and other services.

It specifies measurement parameters and device behaviors. It includes protocols for reporting measurement information that enable coalescing the results from multiple such devices. The standard leverages interfaces and primitives that are derived from IEEE Std. 802.22-2011, and uses any on-line transport mechanism available to achieve the control and management of the system. Interfaces and primitives are provided for conveying value added sensing information to various spectrum sharing database services. This standardEEE specifies a device operating in the bands below 1 GHz and a second802 device operating from 2.7 GHz to 3.7 GHz.

More than half the population in the world live in rural areas with hardly any access to broadband. • It is expensive to lay fiber / cable in rural and remote areas with low population density. Wireless is the only solution. Backhaul / backbone internet access for rural areas is very expensive (50% of the cost) • Traditional wireless carriers have focused on urban areas with high populations density (faster Return on Investment) using licensed spectrum •EEEThis has created a DIGITAL DIVIDE / OPPORTUNITY 802 Overview off the IEEE 802.22 Working Group Activities and Standards Page 12 The Connectivity Challenge “The Digital Divide continues to be the Development Divide”
