Overview
Currently the 802.19 TAG addresses coexistnece between wireless standards under development within IEEE 802. There are a number of working groups within IEEE 802 which are developing standards for unlicensed wireless network. These include
- IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN)
- IEEE 802.15 Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN)
- IEEE 802.16 Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks (WMAN)
- IEEE 802.22 Wireless Regional Area Networks (WRAN)
When a new standard (or amendement to a standard) for an unlicensed wireless network is being developed the working group may develop a Coexistence Assurance (CA) document that is reviewed the IEEE 802.19 TAG.
The TAG is currently evaluating the coexistence between IEEE 802.11y and IEEE 802.16h, both operating in the 3650 MHz frequency band.
