Re: stds-802-mobility: 802.20 basic questions
Dear Berner:
There are a few WPAN standards out there, such as IEEE 802.15.3 (High-Rate)
and IEEE 802.15.4 (Low-Rate). Besides this, there are industry alliances
that cover the topic. This being said, one has to realize that adhoc
networking is still a young field and has not matured yet in all areas of
interest. If you wish, please give me some info on your network topology
requirements (#nodes in network; access model; constraints, such as
processing power, battery usage, hearing range) and I might be able to
point you in a suitable direction.

Subject: stds-802-mobility: 802.20 basic questions
Hello 802.20 folks!
I have read a few documents regarding the 802.20 standardization,
but I have a few basic questions, that I hope someone can help me
with:
1) Within the 802.11 work there is work starting up concerning a
new 802.11n standard for high speeds etc.
What is the main difference between 802.20 and 802.11n?
2) Will 802.20 support a distributed architecture without access
points/base stations (i.e. as the ad-hoc mode for 802.11b)?
3) I am working on MANET (Mobile Ad hoc NETworks) and I am looking
for a radio technology that is appropriate for such a MANET.
Anyone having any ideas on whether 802.20 can be appropriate for
MANET?
Thanks!
Best Regards Berner
