IEEE 802.16m standard will be ready by midyear2010-01-19 10:13 by DanielaTags: IEEE, 4G, 802.16m
The IEEE has announced that it will finalise the 802.16m standard in mid-2010. This will make the technology the first international 4G standard even if operators are not as enthusiastic as one might have expected. US-based Clearwire has said it is in no hurry to adopt the 802.16m standard and it will get around to it one of these days. The Russian based WiMAX operator Yota, however, said it is dead keen and is currently working with Samsung Electronics to roll out 802.16m networks. More than 50 companies have committed to the development of 802.16m technology, which has been languishing on the drawing board at the IEEE since 1999. The specification enables 120Mbps downlink and 60Mbps uplink using 4x2 MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) antennas on a 20MHz-wide channel. This is double what current WiMax technology can manage even in the labs. Read more -here-
