PISCATAWAY,
N.J., 2 February 2004 The IEEE Standards Association has approved,
"IEEE 802.16™/Conformance02, "Standard for Conformance
to IEEE 802.16: Part 2: Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes
(TSS&TP) for 10-66 GHz WirelessMAN-SC Air Interface."
This standard
describes the structure and purpose of the test suite for the
base and subscriber stations defined in the IEEE 802.16 wireless
metropolitan area network standard. This is the second of a set
of specifications required to support the conformance and interoperability
testing of devices built to IEEE 802.16 specifications (per ISO/IEC
9646-1 and 9646-2 and ITU-T Standards X.290 and X.291).
IEEE-SA also
reaffirmed the continued use of two other IEEE 802 standards:
- IEEE 802.2™,
"Local and Metropolitan Area Networks - Specific Requirements
- Part 2: Logical Link Control."
- IEEE 802.5™,
"Local and Metropolitan Area Networks - Specific Requirements
- Part 5: Token Ring Access Method and Physical Layer Specifications."
These projects
were sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society.
