Title: WiMAX Update: IEEE 802.16m and WiMAX future
Speaker: Hassan Yaghoobi, Intel Corporation
Abstract:
The purpose of this talk is to provide an update on WiMAX technology. The presentation provides a brief update on productization from WiMAX Forum, standardization update on IEEE 802.16m/Rev2 and IMT-Advance. On WiMAX Forum side, an update on Release 1.5 and FDD enablement will be provided. On the standardization side, an update on IEEE 802.16m status is provided through coverage of System Requirement, System Description, Evaluation Methodology and the Standard Amendment projects. As IEEE 802.16m is a candidate for IMT-Advance, a brief section of presentation is dedicated to provide an update on IMT-Advance and status of submission of 802.16m and WiMAX Forum Release 2.0 to ITU.
