RE: stds-802-mobility: 802.20 basic questions
Berner,
Here is my perspective on your questions:
1. 802.11n addresses LANs and high-data speeds (throughput). 802.11n is
aiming for the LAN, unlicensed environment at 100+Mbps. 802.20 is looking at
licensed spectrum MAN sized cells and high mobility (i.e. high UE speeds).
The data throughput will depend on the bandwidth of the channels and the
plan, as defined in the PAR, is to look at channel bandwidths starting at
1.25 MHz.
2. At the present time 802.20 is looking at architectures utilizing base
stations/access points.
3. It is probably to early to tell whether any of the technologies will be
"appropriate" for MANET.
Regards,
Mark Klerer

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
