Tuncer Baykas Author Overview IEEE 802 LAN MAN Standards Committee recently finalized its work on two standards for light communications (LC). IEEE 802.15.13-2023 Standard for Multi-Gigabit per Second Optical Wireless Communications (OWC), with Ranges up to 200 meters, for both stationary and mobile devices (IEEE 802.15.13 ) introduced a new MAC and two PHY layers … Read more
The IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee develops and maintains networking standards and recommended practices for local, metropolitan, and other area networks, using an open and accredited process, and advocates them on a global basis. Currently, the IEEE 802 family of standards consists of 71 published standards with 54 under development. The most widely used standards … Read more
Leonardo Lanante Jr. Author Overview Now that the 802.11be task group has started to wrap up its standardization efforts, the IEEE 802.11 working group has turned its attention to the development of the next generation Wi-Fi standard. The recently formed Ultra High Reliability (UHR) study group will work on drafting a Project Authorization Request (PAR) … Read more
At the IEEE 802 Plenary meeting in Montreal, Canada in July 2022, the formation of the Ultra High Reliability Study Group (UHR SG) to develop a Project Authorization Request (PAR) and a Criteria for Standards Development (CSD) for a new 802.11 MAC/PHY amendment was approved. Until May 2023, which is the target start time of … Read more
The IEEE 802 LMSC Wireless Interim Session in Hawaii occurred between 11th and 16th of September. The IEEE 802.11 Working Group for Wireless Area Networks (WLANs), IEEE 802.15 Working Group for Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs), IEEE 802.18 Technical Advisory Group for Radio Regulatory (R-REG), IEEE 802.19 Working Group for Wireless Coexistence (COEX), and IEEE … Read more
Benefited by rapid evolutions of IEEE 802.11 standards for wireless local area networks (WLAN), Wi-Fi has been widely adopted for accessing data communication networks in both business and daily life for the last two decades. Billions of Wi-Fi devices have been globally deployed in various emerging applications, such as virtual/augmented reality, self-driving cars, smart homes/buildings, … Read more
This is the first blog post of the Ofinno Next-Gen Wi-Fi Team introducing the ongoing IEEE standards activities and the team’s focus areas of research and development in IEEE standards. IEEE Computer Society standards are among the most adopted and implemented standards by the industry. Also named as IEEE 802 standards, these standards have been … Read more
As Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) emerges, reduction of human intervention becomes inevitable. To facilitate realization of promising features of future factory automation, 3GPP has launched various initiatives to study potential integration of 3GPP communication systems to support industry. Time sensitive communication offers deterministic network behavior to support real-time applications while non-public networks enable deployment … Read more
On July 4th, 2019, twenty-one of the twenty-eight European Union (EU) countries voted against a European Commission plan that would have effectively shut out 4G/5G cellular communications as an option for vehicle-to-everything (V2X). This decision gives cellular V2X (C-V2X) a major boost. V2X works to allow traffic elements (such as vehicles, roadside infrastructures, networks, and … Read more
The rapidly growing demand of wireless network services has led the mobile network operators (MNOs) to consider the possibility of exploring unlicensed spectrum to offload the data traffic from the licensed bands. Most recently, 3GPP and other industry alliances are considering extending LTE into the unlicensed spectrum to offload part of the LTE data traffic. … Read more
