PISCATAWAY,
N.J., USA, 3 May 2004 The IEEE has approved IEEE 802b™,
"Overview and Architecture, Amendment 2: Registration of
Object Identifiers," a new standard that documents the procedures
to use when allocating and registering object identifier values
for use in standards for IEEE 802™ local and metropolitan
area networks. It also provides documentation
of root identifier values.
The IEEE also
approved the start of work on IEEE P802.16/Conformance04™,
"Standard for Conformance to IEEE 802.16™, Part 4: Protocol
Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) Proforma for Frequencies
below 11 GHz." When completed, this standard will describe
the capabilities and options within the air interface to be claimed
by suppliers of products intended to implement the IEEE 802.16
protocol for devices operating below 11 GHz. These claims will
help users evaluate how well a product conforms to their requirements.
These projects
are sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society.
