Introduction

The charter of IEEE 802.22, the Working Group on Wireless Regional Area Networks ("WRANs"), under the PAR approved by the IEEE-SA Standards Board is to develop a standard for a cognitive radio-based PHY/MAC/air_interface for use by license-exempt devices on a non-interfering basis in spectrum that is allocated to the TV Broadcast Service. (The approved PARs for 802.22, 802.22.1, and 802.22.2 can be viewed by clicking on their respective links.)

"Meeting documents" are accessable from a link on the linkbar at the left and will be posted to our new documentation system at mentor.ieee.org for download. Contributors of documents can request document numbers, upload documents, upload revisions, etc. after completing a simple request to be approved for upload access. (You MUST have an IEEE web id for access to these functions.)

The "Members Only" directory, with password protection, is hosted on this website's server under the "Members Only Documents" tab in the link bar. The user id and password for this area has been distributed via the WG e-mail reflector. Voting members and "nearly voters" (those who have met the attendance requirements and will become voters at the next plenary if they attend) can request the password from the WG Chair via direct e-mail if you don't already have it or have forgotten it. Please read and observe the restrictions on re-posting or redistribution of the documents from the "Members Only" area.

PLEASE NOTE that you must have attended at least one face to face meeting of the WG with 75% attendance credit to be subscribed to the WG e-mail reflectors.

Also, please use a "real" e-mail address rather than "hotmail," "gmail," etc. if at all possible. If for some reason you must use one of these "free" e-mail accounts to access the reflector(s), after you make your subscription request via the listserv user interface, also send an e-mail directly to Wendong Hu , identifying yourself (name, affiliation, and the e-mail address used) so that I can properly control access to the reflectors. Your cooperation and patience with this process will be appreciated.

Any suggestions for improvements to these pages to make them more useful, or reports of broken links, will always be welcome and may be sent to the IEEE 802.22 Working Group Chair Wendong Hu.

 

HOT ITEMS


 

IEEE 802.22 Draft v2.0 is available for download (IEEE 802.22 members only).

 


Our new documentation system at mentor.ieee.org is now "live" (and linked to from "Meeting Documents" in the link bar at the left) and requires an IEEE web id if you want to request the ability to upload and revise your contributions. We are also using the electronic attendance system at our face to face meetings. The attendance system also requires an IEEE web id. Information on getting an IEEE web id and using the attendance system is available here.
